How to reduce into simpler terms.?

Answer:

The simplest form of the fraction \frac{45}{100}  is  \frac{9}{20}.

i.e.

\frac{45}{100}=\frac{9}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some simple observations regarding how to reduce a fraction into simpler terms:

  • A fraction is reduced to lowest or simplest terms by finding an equivalent fraction in which the numerator and denominator are as small as possible.
  • In order to reduce a fraction to lowest or simplest terms, divide the numerator and denominator by their (GCF). Note that (GCF) is also called Greatest Common Factor .

So, lets take a sample fraction and reduce into simpler terms.

Considering the fraction

\frac{45}{100}

\mathrm{Find\:a\:common\:factor\:of\:}45\mathrm{\:and\:}100\mathrm{\:in\:order\:to\:cancel\:it\:out}

\mathrm{Greatest\:Common\:Divisor\:of\:}45,\:100:\quad 5

\mathrm{Factor\:out\:}5\mathrm{\:from\:the\:numerator\:and\:the\:denominator}

45=5\cdot \:9\mathrm{,\:\quad }100=5\cdot \:20

so

\frac{45}{100}=\frac{5\cdot \:\:9}{5\cdot \:\:20}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5

     =\frac{9}{20}

Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction \frac{45}{100}  is  \frac{9}{20}.

i.e.

\frac{45}{100}=\frac{9}{20}

What is the Triangle Congruence Theorem and is it congruent?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are equal in length and their corresponding interior angles are equal in measure. We use the symbol ≅ to show congruence. Corresponding sides and angles mean that the side on one triangle and the side on the other triangle, in the same position, match.Step-by-step explanation:

a previous analysis of paper boxes showed that the standard deviation of the length is 9mm. What is the 98% confidence interval
il63 [147K]
We cannot calculate the confidence interval without the sample size.  However, for the second question, the sample size needed would be 49.

The formula we use is

n=(\frac{z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\times \sigma}{E})^2

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal:  0.98
Subtract from 1:  1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide by 2:  0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1:  1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value is closest to a z-score of 2.33.

Using the z-score, our standard deviation (9) and our margin of error (3), we have:
n=(\frac{2.33(9)}{3})^2=(6.99)^2=48.86\approx 49

Find the product.<br><br> (r + s)2
mario62 [17]
When you've got a squares bracket, this simply becomes the bracket twice, therefore, (r+s)2 becomes (r+s)(r+s)
You've then go to use FOIL, and this gives you r^2+rs+sr+s^2, and this cannot be simplified any further.
Therefore, the product of this is r^2 + s^2 + rs + sr
Hope this is what you're looking for :)

From a radar station, the angle of elevation of an approaching airplane is 32.5 degree. The horizontal distance between the plan
denis23 [38]

Answer: 42.21 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using trigonometry, since we have the following data:

\theta=32.5\° is the the angle of elevation

d=35.6 km is the horizontal distance between the plane and the radar station

x is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed between the radar station and the airplane

Now, the trigonometric function that will be used is <u>cosine</u>:

cos\theta=\frac{d}{x} because d is the adjacent side of the right triangle

cos(32.5\°)=\frac{35.6 km}{x}

Finding x:

x=\frac{35.6 km}{cos(32.5\°)}

x=42.21 km

In the figure,  x ∥ y and a is a transversal that crosses the parallel lines.
Dominik [7]
Here, exterior angles are 1, 2, 7 & 8 as they are outside the parallel lines, & among them, alternates are: 1 with 7 and 2 & 8. 1 & 7 is not in option but 2 and 8 is there in C

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
