How do I write a fraction in the simplest form

2 answers:

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.

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let $D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)$

$C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})$

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$ and $4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

Solve for each:

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$

$2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2$

$4 = x_1 + 5$

$4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5$

$-1 = x_1$

$x_1 = -1$

$4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

$4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2$

$8 = y_1 + 7$

$8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7$

$1 = y_1$

$y_1 = 1$

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let $A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)$

$B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})$

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$ and $-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

Solve for each:

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$

$-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2$

$-8 = x_1 - 2$

$-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2$

$-6 = x_1$

$x_1 = -6$

$-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

$-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2$

$-10 = y_1 - 9$

$-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9$

$-1 = y_1$

$y_1 = -1$

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.
