Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying two algebraic fractions produces a new algebraic fraction. Multiply the two numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the two denominators to get the new denominator. Then simplify by reducing the new fraction to lowest terms.

for example:

$\frac{x}{y} \\$ × $\frac{a}{b}$ = $\frac{xa}{yb}$

Division of algebraic fractions

The procedure for dividing algebraic fractions is the same as the procedure for dividing common fractions. Replace the division by a fraction by the multiplication by the reciprocal of that fraction, like this. Then carry out the multiplication of the two fractions as described above.

for example:

$\frac{\frac{a}{b} }{\frac{x}{y} }$

can be written as

$\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{ax}{by}$

Fifteen times the square of a non-zero number is equal to 20 times number.What is the number? Its not 4/3

e-lub [12.9K]

The number is (2√3) / 3

To find the missing number, convert what it says in words to an equation:
$15 {x}^{2} = 20x$
Divide both sides by 15:
${x}^{2} = \frac{20}{15} \\ \\ {x}^{2} = \frac{4}{3}$
Take the square root:
$x = \sqrt{ \frac{4}{3} } \\ \\ x = \frac{2}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ x = \frac{2 \sqrt{3} }{3}$

If y=4x+5 how much does the tree grow each year?

Elena L [17]

Answer:

4 ( not sure what the units are)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just by looking at the slope you can figure out how much it grows per year.

y = mx + b

m = slope

Not sure what units there are in the question just place it in the end.

Hope this helps :)
