Answer:
160/196
Step-by-step explanation:
it would be easier if you converted all fractions to improper fractions
so 3 1/5 would equal 16/5 and 2 4/5 would equal to 14/5
: to solve this you would need the same common denomenator,
to do this you can multiply 5 and 3 by something to make the lowest common denominator, which would be 15
thus
multiplying first fraction by 3 and the second by 5
42/15 - 10/15 = 32/15
now 32/15 divided by 14/5
the rule for dividing fractions, is flipping the fraction which you will be using to divide, and then multiplying it to the first fraction:
multiplied by
thus, answer is 160/196
Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
m∠PQS+m∠SQR=m∠PQR ----> equation A (by Addition Angle Postulate)
we have that
m∠PQR=90° ----> equation B given problem (because is a right angle)
substitute equation B in equation A
m∠PQS+m∠SQR=90°
Remember that
Two angles re complementary is their sum is equal to 90 degrees (Definition of complementary angles)
therefore
m∠PQS and m∠SQR are complementary angles
