100 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! Explain the concept of using cancellation to reduce fractions.

Mathematics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
5 0

Cancelling fractions is also called simplifying fractions. Basically, a fraction can be made simpler by dividing the top and bottom by the same number. Both the top and bottom must divide evenly for you to simplify the fraction.

How do you reduce fractions before multiplying?

The first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators. The second step is to multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the new fractions. The fractions can also be simplified before multiplying by factoring out common factors in the numerator and denominator.

Got this from google, hope it's close to what you were looking for.

The question I need is question #13. Please provide a step by step answer. Thank You

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have plane 1 flying SW for 4 hours at a rate of 415 mph.  The distance he covers using the d = rt formula for distance, is 415(4) = 160 miles.

We also have plane 2 flying directly east (along the x-axis) for 4 hours at 327 mph.  The distance he covers using the d = rt formula for distance, is 327(4) = 1308 miles.  The angle in between them at this point is 135 degrees, and what we need to find is the length of the vector connecting the 2 planes.  IF this was right triangle trig that distance would be the hypotenuse and we could solve for it using Pythagorean's Theorem.  BUT it is NOT a right triangle, so we have to find some other means with which to solve for that length.  We will use the Law of Cosines to do this.

?^2=1660^2+1308^2-2(1660)(1308)cos(135) which simplifies a bit to

?^2=2755600+1712864-(-3070653.624)

If you add all of that together, you'll get

?^2=7537117.624  and you'll take the square root of that to get that the distance between the 2 planes after 4 hours is

2745 miles

Solve for x: -4(3x − 2) = 6x + 2
stepladder [879]

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(3x − 2) = 6x + 2

Distribute

-12x +8 = 6x +2

Add 12x to each side

12x-12x+8 = 6x+2+12x

8 = 18x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

8-2 = 18x+2-2

6 = 18x

Divide each side by 18

6/18 = 18x/18

1/3 =x

Plz help.<br> find the solution for:<br> 9-3 | x-2 | = 4<br> will give brainliest.
meriva

answer:

x=1/3

x=11/3

STEP 1:

Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation

Absolute value equalitiy entered

-3|x-2|+9 = 4

Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.

To make the absolute value term positive, both sides are multiplied by (-1).

3|x-2| = 5

STEP 2:

Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is 3|x-2|

For the Negative case we'll use -3(x-2)

For the Positive case we'll use 3(x-2)

STEP 3:

Solve the Negative Case

-3(x-2) = 5

Multiply

-3x+6 = 5

Rearrange and Add up

-3x = -1

Divide both sides by 3

-x = -(1/3)

Multiply both sides by(-1)

x = (1/3)

Which is the solution for the Negative Case

STEP 4:

Solve the Positive Case

3(x-2) = 5

Multiply

3x-6 = 5

Rearrange and Add up

3x = 11

Divide both sides by 3

x = (11/3)

Which is the solution for the Positive Case

giving us  x=1/3 or x=11/3

allso if u can i need help with a thing so plese help, i would aprestiate it

Cards are drawn from a standard 52-card deck until the third club is drawn. After each card is drawn, it is put back in the deck
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that cards are drawn from a standard 52-card deck until the third club is drawn.

With replacement:

Drawing 3 club prob = 1/52 and non club = 51/52

a) Hence Prob (3rd club is drawn on the 8th selection)

= P(7 non 3 clubs, and one 3 club)

= (\frac{51}{52} )^7 (\frac{1}{52})

b) P(first 7 cards  non 3 club) = (\frac{51}{52} )^7

With replacement

c) P(7 non 3 clubs and 8th 3club)

= \frac{51C7 }{52C8}

d) P(atleast first 7 cards non3 club) =1-P(3 club in the 7th draws )=1-\frac{51C7 }{52(52C8)}
