When multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and denominators together.

-8 x 5 = -40
9 x 6 = 54

-8/9 x 5/6 = -40/54

To simplify the fraction, find the biggest number that both 40 and 54 can go into. To do this, list the factors of each.

40-
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40

54-
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54

The biggest number each goes into is 2

Divide both -40 and 54 by 2

-40/2=-20
54/2=27

-40/54 = -20/27

The coordinates of trapezoid ABCD are A(−4, 3), B(2, 3), C(4, −1) and D(−4, −1). A line segment runs through the trapezoid with

madam [21]

The distance from point Y to the y-axis is 4 units and the distance from point Z to the y-axis is 3 units, then the lelgth of the segment YZ is 4+3=7 units.
If <span>a scale factor is 3, then the length of Y'Z' will be 7·3=21 units.

P.S. In the added picture you can see trapezoid ABCD that was dilated by a scale factor 3 about the origin. This may help to understand that all linear values after dilation become multiplied by scale factor.

Drag expressions into order to show a way to find 3 × 56.

lina2011 [118]

As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.

56
+56
+56
-------
168
------------------------

Or we could also do the following:

56 $*$ 3:

6 $*$ 3= 18.

Carry the one.

5 $*$ 3 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16

(16+8) = 168

(x-1)^2+(2-x)^2-3(x-5)*(x-5)

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

$-x^2+24x-70$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x-1)^2+(2-x)^2-3(x-5)*(x-5)\\=> (x - 1)^2 + (2 - x)^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 1 + 4 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 5 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 6x + 5 + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x^2 - 10x + 25)\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3x^2+30x-75\\=> -x^2 - 6x + 5 + 30x - 75\\=> -x^2 + 24x + 5-75\\=> -x^2+24x-70$

Formula used =

$(a-b)^2 = a^2+ 2ab + b^2$

write each ratio statement as a fraction and reduce to lowest terms if possible.(i)18 to 24 (ii)5 to 15 (iii)14:42 (iv) 15 cents

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

i) 3/4

ii) 1/3

iii) 1/3

iv) 5/6 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Any ratio can be written as a fraction.

For example 3:4 can be writen as 3/4 or 14:42 as 14/42.

After you convert them to fractions you then simplify them by finding their highest common factor (HCF) and then divide both numerator and denominator by the HCF. When you cant simplify the fraction anymore, that is the fraction in its lowest terms.
