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 measure of angle Y. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (Please type the numerical answer only)

Sati [7]

Answer:

y = 11.54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = y°

Opposite side length = 4

Hypotenuse = 20

Apply trigonometric function SOH:

$Sin(y) = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}$

$Sin(y) = \frac{4}{20}$

$Sin(y) = 0.2$

$y = Sin^{-1}(0.2)$

y = 11.536959° ≈ 11.54° (nearest hundredth)

Blank 1: x

Blank 2: y

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflection of a point along y-axis means the y value stays the same and the x-value changes its sign.

The set of the consecutive odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, ... , N has a sum of 400. How many numbers are in the set?

Amanda [17]

Well, we could try adding up odd numbers, and look to see when we reach 400. But I'm hoping to find an easier way.

First of all ... I'm not sure this will help, but let's stop and notice it anyway ...
An odd number of odd numbers (like 1, 3, 5) add up to an odd number, but
an even number of odd numbers (like 1,3,5,7) add up to an even number.
So if the sum is going to be exactly 400, then there will have to be an even
number of items in the set.

Now, let's put down an even number of odd numbers to work with,and see
what we can notice about them:

 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 .

Number of items in the set . . . 8
Sum of all the items in the set . . . 64

Hmmm. That's interesting. 64 happens to be the square of 8 .
Do you think that might be all there is to it ?

Let's check it out:

Even-numbered lists of odd numbers:

1, 3 Items = 2, Sum = 4
1, 3, 5, 7 Items = 4, Sum = 16
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 Items = 6, Sum = 36
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 . . Items = 8, Sum = 64 .

Amazing ! The sum is always the square of the number of items in the set !

For a sum of 400 ... which just happens to be the square of 20,
we just need the first 20 consecutive odd numbers.

I slogged through it on my calculator, and it's true.

I never knew this before. It seems to be something valuable
to keep in my tool-box (and cherish always).
