Answer:Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down (this is now a reciprocal).

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal

Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)

Example:

1/2 ÷ 1/6

Step 1. Turn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal):

1/6 becomes 6/1

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:

1/2 x 6/1 = (1x6) / (2x1) = 6/2

Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

6/2 = 3

Which pair of numbers is relatively prime?

Kazeer [188]

Answer: C. 625 and 81

Step-by-step explanation: A relatively prime pair is a pair in which in both numbers given, the only number that can go into each number is one. In 112 and 36, we know 2 can evenly go into each number because they both end in a positive number (112/2 is 56 and 36/2 is 18.) This means A is incorrect. As for B, 11 can evenly go into each number, leaving you with 25 and 7. B is incorrect. And then there's D. 5 can go into each number giving you 160 and 19. D is incorrect.

C is correct because the only numbers that can go evenly into 81 is 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81. None of these numbers, except one can go into 625 also.

Six tools are in a bag – a hammer, wrench, drill, pliers, screwdriver, and measuring tape. You are trying to find the probabilit

Vesna [10]

You could roll a 6-sided die 3 times to simulate this. This is a good simulation because it has one side for each possible tool, and each roll is independent, just as selecting the tool with replacement would be.

In the triangle below, 4/5 represents which ratio?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:
sin (C)

Explanation:
In a right-angled triangle, special trig functions can be applied. These functions are as follows:
sin (theta) = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

cos (theta) = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

tan (theta) = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ 

Now, let's check the triangle we have:
We have two options:
First option:
5 is the hypotenuse of the triangle
4 is the side adjacent to angle B
Therefore, we can apply the cos function:
cos (B) = $\frac{4}{5}$ 

Second option:
5 is the hypotenuse of the triangle
4 is the side opposite to angle C
Therefore, we can apply the sin function:
sin (C) = $\frac{4}{5}$

Among the two options, the second one is the one found in the choices. Therefore, it will be the correct one.

Hope this helps :)
