a. 9/10
explanation:
• the denominators (bottom number) are the same so there is no need to change to a common factor
• because the fractions have common factors, you add the top numbers (3+6) to get 9
• then you put the top number over the 10 (9/10) and it’s simplified as much as possible
b. 3/4
explanation:
• each denominator (bottom term) is a factor of 12 so you have to change each fraction to #/12
• to change 1/3, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 4 (1x4 & 3x4 = 4/12)
• to change 1/4, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 3 (1x3 & 4x3 = 3/12)
• to change 1/6, you multiple the top and bottom numbers by 2 (1x2 & 6x2 = 2/12)
• then you add each of the top numbers (4+3+2) and put it over the common denominator (12) to get 9/12
- both 9 & 12 are divisible by 3, so you simply by dividing both by 3 to get 3/4
c. 1/3
explanation:
•the denominators are the same, so you subtract 5-3 without changing the denominator & you get 2/6
• then, because both numbers are divisible by 2, you divide both by 2 and get 1/3
Hello!
We can make an equation based on what we know
The product of 9 and a number is
9 * x
Added to six
9 * x + 6
Gives the result of 24
9 * x + 6 = 24
Now you solve it algebraically
Subtract 6 from both sides
9 * x = 18
Divide both sides by 9
x = 2
The answer is 2
Hope this helps!
Answer: 4b - a = 15
Step-by-step explanation: if you replace the variables with their equivalent counterparts you get the equation 4(7) - 12 = __ when you do the math make sure to do the parentheses first then subtract, just like in elementary school remember pemdas parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. I hope this helps.
Answer: 1 3/8 or 1 whole and 3/8
Step-by-step explanation: first you do 77/72 multiplied by 9/7 and you get
1 and 189/594 then you simplify and get 1 and 63/168 and you simplify again and you get 1 and 21/56 then you simplify again and get 1 and 3/8
MEANINGS
-SIMPLIFY~WHEN YOU SIMPLIFY YOU DIVIDE THE FRACTION BY A NUMBER DIVISIBLE BY BOTH THE NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR
EXAMPLES~ 2/4 YOU SIMPLIFY IT BY DIVIDING BOTH THE NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR BOTH BY 2 AND YOU GET 1/2
Hope this helps ♥
