Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value. They can be found by reducing the fraction or by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same number.
In this case, 4 and 12 can both be divided by 4, so the fraction 4/12 can be reduced to 1/3.
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation: When there is more than one term inside the absolute value, we first simplify inside the absolute value.
So here, our first step is to add -15 + 10 which is -5.
So we have ║-5║.
Now remember that absolute value means <em>distance from zero</em> on a number line. Since -5 is 5 units from zero, the absolute value of -5 is 5.
So the absolute value of -15 + 10 is 5.
