How do I write a fraction in the simplest form

2 answers:

5 0

Simply just find the least common factor between the numerator and the denominator of the fraction, For example, 2/4, you know that between the two numbers, they both share the same common factor, 2, so divide 2 on the top and the bottom, and then your final answer would be 1/2. However, if there seems to be no common factor between the numerator and the denominator for a fraction, do not simplify it any more. You cannot have a decimal as a numerator or a denominator. For example, 3/5 has no common factor so you do not have to simplify it as it is already at its most simplest form.

Hope you found this helpful:)

Ask if the numerator and denominator can be divided by the same number, which is called a common factor.

See if at least one number in the fraction is a prime number.

Find the value of r ,so that the line passing through the points 6,2 and 10,r given and has a slope of 2

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) of two points is expressed as :

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Given m = 2

the equation becomes;

2 = (r - 2) / (10 - 6)

2 = (r - 2) / 4

cross multiplying becomes ;

2 * 4 = r - 2

8 = r - 2

r = 10

Nancy is allowed to make 200 copies a month on the departmental copy machine. A test for one class requires 26 copies of two pag

alekssr [168]

She would have 106 copies left.I think this because since she has to make 47 copies and since they are double sided you would have to multiply be 2.Which would give you 94 and then you subtract 94 from 200.It would give you 106 in the end.

18% of what number is 29?

galina1969 [7]

Alright, so we are trying to figure out what number 18% of equals 29. First, we should divide 100 by 18 we get 5.55555555555. That means 29*5.5555555555 is the number we are looking for: 29*5.5555555555=161.111111

Answer:161.11111111111(repeated infinitely)

The number of letters in Stephanie's full name is sixteen less than twice the number of letters in Amy's full name. If the numbe

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

19 letters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Number of Amy's full name letters = X

Number of Stephanie's full name letters = Y

Now, according to given condition that ''number of letters in Stephanie's full name is sixteen less than twice the number of letters in Amy's full name'',

Equation 1 becomes

Y = 2X-16

Now, according to second condition, product of their names' letter is 418. So,

Equation 2 becomes

XY = 418

Deducing value of X from equation 1,

X = (Y+16)/2

Putting this value in equation 2 we get,

{(Y+16)/2}*Y = 418,

By simplifying this equation we get a quadritic equation

(Y^2)+16Y-836=0

By breaking middle term (You can use quadratic formula here as well)

(Y^2)+38Y-22Y-836=0

Y(Y+38)-22(Y+38)=0

(Y-22)(Y+38)=0

At this stage we have two values for Y,

Y=22, or Y=-38

Now considering only positive value since the number of letters in a name can not be in negative number,

Y=22,

So X=(Y+16)/2

X=19
