Since it is a square, the diagonals are exactly the same = same midpoint. hope this helps
If x=2.5, then 5x would equal 5*2.5, or 12.5
Answer: 20/21 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given, we are informed that Maleah turned on the water in the kitchen and that for every 1 3/4 minute, 1 2/3 gallons of water went into the sink.
The number of gallons of water that filled the sink per minute will then be calculated as:
= Amount of gallons of water that went into sink / Number of minutes used
= 1 2/3 ÷ 1 3/4
= 5/3 ÷ 7/4
= 5/3 × 4/7
= 20/21
Therefore, 20/21 gallons of water filled the sink per minute
<span>You can reduce a fraction by finding a common multiple. 6 and 12 are both divisible by 2 because they are both even numbers. You can start there. Always remember, anything you do to the top (numerator) you must do to the bottom (denominator). The rules are different for adding and subtracting, so don't worry about that. Divide the 6 by 2 to get 6/2=3 and divide 12 by 2 to get 12/2=6. You now have a new fraction 3/6. Since 3 is odd, you can't divide by 2 anymore. can you divide by 3? Yes. 3/3=1 and 6/3=2 so your new fraction is 1/2. Hope this is what you were looking for.</span>
