Is each fraction in simples form? Write yes or no 2/4

2 answers:

8 0

Hey there! :D

When a fraction is still divisible by a number, then it is not in it's simplest form.

For example, 3/6.

I know for a fact that 6/3=2 <== 3 is also divisible by itself.

3/6 (3/3=1) (6/6=1)

1/2 <== simplest form.

Try the same with 2/4.

4 is divisible by 2.

4/2= 2

2/2=1

1/2 is the simplest form.

I hope this helps!

Hey there!

In this fraction, we can imagine a circle, divided into four parts. One half of the circle with two parts, and the other half with another two. Shading in one is 1/4, and shading another would be 2/4. When we imagine this, we see that half the circle is filled, therefore it's not in simplest form. If we divide the top by 2 and bottom by two, we get the same answer as we've seen in our picture. It's equal to one half.

Hope this helps!

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice its width. The are of a rectangle is 70m^2. Find the dimensions of the rec

igomit [66]

Answer:

The length is 7 m

The width is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

length = x

width = 2x - 4

length * width = area

It is given that the area is 70 $m^{2}$

From there

x * (2x - 4) = 70

$2x^{2}$ - 4x = 70

$2x^{2}$ - 4x - 70 = 0

$x^{2}$ - 2x - 35 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation, which is a $x^{2}$ + bx + c = 0, where a $\neq$ 0

In this equation a = 1, b = -2 and c = -35

Discriminant (D) formula is b² - 4ac

D = $-2^{2}$ - 4 * 1 * (-35) = 144 > 0

This discriminant is more than 0, so there are two possible x

Their formulas are $\frac{- b - \sqrt{D} }{2a}$ and $\frac{- b + \sqrt{D} }{2a}$

$x_{1}$ = $\frac{- (-2) - \sqrt{144} }{2}$ = -5 < 0 (the length of the rectangle has to be more than 0, so we don't use this x)

$x_{2}$ = $\frac{- (-2) + \sqrt{144} }{2}$ = 7 > 0 (this one is right)

Calculating the dimensions

length = x = 7 (m)

width = 2x - 4 = 2 * 7 - 4 = 10 (m)

What is the answer for 1/7(1,000)

12345 [234]

1/7(1000) = 1/7(7000/7)

1*7000
7*7

7000
49

1000
7

so 1/7(1000) = 1000/7 or 142 6/7

Sample Response: First, I wrote each ratio as a fraction. Then I found a common denominator of 20. The fraction 4/10 is 8/20. Co

lesantik [10]

In the case above, the option that one need to include in your answer is to Find a common denominator.

<h3>What is Fraction in lowest terms?</h3>

When the numerator and denominator of a fraction are known to not have common factor other than 1, then a person can say that the fraction in its simple form or say its in its lowest term.

Since there is a common numerator and the common denominator will be between 10 and 20. Since 10 is less that than 20, the common denominator will be 20 as both can divide it.

Hence, In the case above, the option that one need to include in your answer is to Find a common denominator.

Suppose the function f(x) = 2x + 12

yarga [219]

First figure out how much it costs to rent seven movies a month. f(7)=2(7) + 12–> 14 + 12–> $26 Now we need to find the difference between 26 and 10. 26 - 10= 16. So Casey needs $16 more to rent 7 movies a month
