Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on what type of fraction you're trying to simplify there are different ways.

One subtraction example would be:

6-3/7-4 you minus the numerator and denominator to get 3/3 since we have 3 on both top and bottom our simplified answer would be 1

Answer:

Divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

38/57 = (2·19)/(3·19)

Dividing numerator and denominator by the factor 19 that is common to both, we have the simplest form:

38/57 = 2/3

___

The process is aided immensely by you having mastery of your multiplication tables through at least 12×12, and by having a good feeling for the factorization of all numbers less than 100.

Some calculators work well with fractions, so can simplify them for you. If you don't have either of the above, then you need to have a good understanding of how to find the greatest common divisor of two numbers. Euclid's algorithm is a useful tool for this.

What is the point slope of an equation with slope of 3/5 that passes through the point (10,-2)

Verdich [7]

The answer would be B. It gives you the slope and a point on the graph so use that to your advantage. All of the answers show the slope and the slope in the right place, so for now it can be any of them. Then we get to the point (10,-2). For point slope form you would switch the signs for both x and y. So the Y would now be +2 and x would be -10. Y goes together with y, and X goes together with x. In this case y+-y= slope(X+-x) Substitute in for them. Y+2=3/5(X-10)

Analyze this data, and match each percentage to the description it represents. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. 3

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

(a)The percentage of hatchbacks that run on gasoline.=78%

(b) The percentage of diesel vehicles that are hatchbacks.=21%

(c)The percentage of SUVs that run on gasoline=30%

(d)The percentage of gasoline vehicles that are sedans=42%

(e)The percentage of sedans that run on diesel =44%

(f)The percentage of gasoline vehicles that SUVs.=8%

Step-by-step explanation:

This table gives information about vehicles sold at a dealership in a month.

------------------Gasoline-------Diesel

Hatchback------18---------------5

Sedan------------15---------------12

SUV----------------3----------------7

(a)The percentage of hatchbacks that run on gasoline.

Total Number of Hatchbacks=23

Number that run on Gasoline=18

Percentage that run on gasoline=(17/23)X100=78%

(b) The percentage of diesel vehicles that are hatchbacks.

Total Number of Diesel Vehicles=5+12+7=24

Number of Diesel Hatchbacks=5

Percentage of diesel vehicles that are hatchbacks=(5÷24)X100=21%

(c)The percentage of SUVs that run on gasoline

Total Number of SUVs=10

Number of Gasoline SUVs=3

Percentage of SUVs that run on gasoline=(3÷10)X100=30%

(d)The percentage of gasoline vehicles that are sedans.

Total Number of Gasoline Vehicles=18+15+3=36

Number of Gasoline sedans=15

Percentage of Sedans that run on gasoline=(15÷36)X100=42%

(e)The percentage of sedans that run on diesel

Total Number of Sedans=15+12=27

Number of Diesel Sedans=12

Percentage of sedan that run on diesel=(12÷27)X100=44%

(f)The percentage of gasoline vehicles that SUVs.

Total Number of Gasoline Vehicles=18+15+3=36

Number of Gasoline SUVs=3

Percentage of SUVs that run on gasoline=(3÷36)X100=8%

One solution to a quadratic equation is x= -5/3 What is true about any remaining solutions?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

There is exactly one more real solution or there is exactly one more complex solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is a polynomial of degree two

What this means is that a polynomial has two answers.

Now, from the question, we have an answer already which is a real root

Then the other answer which we do not have can take the form of two answers

It can either be a complex root or other wise be a real root

So the answer to this question is that ;

There is exactly one more real solution or there is exactly one more complex solution
