Cross multiply X×4=3×1
4x=3
X= 3/4
Your answer is the last option
54-6i/41
Okay. so I'm gonna assume you know what factor out means--were gonna take out 5/6. what we need to know is, how does that affect our ending number 2/3? well, we're gonna have 5/6 times some stuff first off, right?
5/6 ( )
so what's in the parenthesis? well, if we distribute in our mind, S would just have to be by itself for it to work out. so we have
5/6 ( s )
but what about 2/3? well, if we're multiplying everything on the inside by 5/6, how can be get it to cancel and leave 2/3 alone? we could divide 2/3 by 5/6, right?
5/6 ( s + (2/3) / (5/6) )
now, when we distribute our 5/6, we'll have just 2/3 at the end. now let's simplify that end term so it looks a little better. if we divide by a fracion, that's the same as multiplying by the flipped version, so let's do that.
2/3 / 5/6 = 2/3 × 6/5 = 2 (6) / 5 (3) = 12/15
we can reduce 12/15 by dividing the top and bottom by three.
= 4/5
so our final answer would be:
5/6 [S + 4/5] you can redistribute to make sure it matches. Anyway, hope that helps!
First, we have to find how many times 10 goes into 15.
We can divide 15 by 10, and we will see that 10 goes into 15 1 whole time, with 5/10 left over.
Now, we can simplify!
In order to simplify, we have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 5 and 10. Let's list out the factors (the numbers that can be divided into 5 and 10)
1*5
1*10
2*5
The largest factor, as we can see, is 5! Let's dicide 5/10 by 5.
5/5=1
10/5=2
So, 5/10 simplifies to 1/2, and, if we bring down the whole number we found before, 15/10 is equal to 1 and 1/2! :)
We can check this answer by multiplying the whole number, 1, by the denominator, (the bottom number of a fraction) 2, and adding the numerator, (the top number of a fraction), 1.
1*2=2
2+1=3
Keep the denominator as 2.
The improper fraction is 3/2, which is equivalent to 15/10 (multiply 3/2 by 5 to see)!
So, our answer is 1 1/2.
I hope I helped! :)
