Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Answer:
inverse operation
Step-by-step explanation:
Inverse means opposite. The opposite of division is multiplication. For example, if you divided 15 by 3, the answer is 5. If you multiply 5 by 3, the answer is 15. You know your answer is correct by checking it with the inverse operation.

plz give branliest
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
you don't, the fraction 
or 4/5
is already in its simplest form.
Step-by-step explanation:
if you want it as a decimal, simply divide.
numerator by the denominator
4 divided by 5
which is 0.8
We need to have some choices to give you the answer
