First, we know that when multiplying fractions, we multiply both the numerator and denominator.
so, in 4/9 • 4/5,
4•4 = 16, and
9•5 = 45
so, 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45.
now, we’ll look for the Least Common Factor
factors are numbers that you can multiply together to = another number.
the LEAST common Factor is the # that is smallest that you can divide both numbers by, in an equation and get a whole number.
for instance, 3•3 and 1•9 are the only ways to get 9, so, the factors are 1, 3, 9
let’s look for the LCF in 16 and 45. -
if we find the ways to get 16, we have:
1•16, 2•8, and 4•4
so, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
this is called FACTORING :)
the ways to get 45 are...
1•45, 3•15, and 5•9, so the FACTORS are
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, & 45.
- compare the factors of 16 & 45,
none of them are the same besides 1, and we know that dividing these numbers by 1 will not do anything.
because of this, we can not reduce 16/45, so the reduced answer to 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45
4z ≥ 7
divide seven by four
z ≥ 1.75
or, if you need it in fraction form, it would be
z ≥ 7/4
18.386 rounded to the nearest hundredth would be 18.39
Step-by-step explanation:
you have the formula and the numbers. just calculate !
cost of membership
y = 100 - 0.02x
a)
for x = 2600
y = 100 - 0.02×2600 = 100 - 52 = $48
b)
the reduction element of the cost of membership is the
"- 0.02x" part.
we want to refuse the membership costs by $41, so
0.02x = 41
x = 41/0.02 = $2,050
c)
the same as b)
just now the membership costs need to be reduced to 0.
so, that means we need to reduce by $100 !
0.02x = 100
x = 100/0.02 = $5,000
