5/8 x 4/1 multiply numerators 5 x 4=20 multiply denominators 8 x 1=8 20/8= 5/2 or 2 1/2 hope this helps

The answer is 2 1/2. Because you need to cross cancel then you take the "freeway", and you get 5/2 and simplified is 2 1/2.And since half equals .5 it would be 2.5 just in case you also needed decimal.

Hope I Helped!!!!!!!!!!

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The product:

$A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{3}$

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The quotient:

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}$

Express as product

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}$

$A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}$

$A / B = \frac{3}{4}$

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

The sum:

$x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

Take LCM

$x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}$

$x + y = \frac{7}{6}$

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>

75% of blank peaches is 15 peaches?

satela [25.4K]

.75 * p = 15

divide by .75

p = 15/.75 = 20

20 peaches

.15 * d = puppies

.15 * 60 = puppies

puppies = 9

stereo *.09 = 35

divide by .09

stereo = 35/.09
