It is important because if u don't find the simplest form then u won't be able to multiply and get the answer correctly

This is important because if you were to answer in complex fractions instead of its simplest form, you would have a tough time multiplying complex fractions together. You would get a HUGE denominator or numerator, which makes things difficult. It is important to write a fraction in its simplest form because of exactly that; making things simple. Would you rather multiply 64/132*64/132 or 1/2*1/2?

Ahat [919]

$\frac{50}{100} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{4}{100} = \frac{2}{50} = \frac{1}{25}$
$\frac{1}{2} = .50$
$\frac{1}{25} = .04$
$\frac{1}{10} = .10$

I NEED FAST HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The student is expected to spend <em>15.4 hours </em>doing homework

Step-by-step explanation:

The scattered plot shows there is a close correlation between the variables. A line of best fit will go through the 'center' of the points. Since we are not required to find an exact line, we'll draw it in red color as shown below

To know the equation of that line, we must take two clear points of it from the graph. We'll pick (28,4) and (4,25)

The equation of a line, given two points (a,b) and (c,d) is

$\displaystyle y-b=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)$

Using the selected points

$\displaystyle y-4=\frac{25-4}{4-28}(x-28)$

Simplifying and computing results, the equation is

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{7}{8}x+\frac{57}{2}$

Using that equation, we can predict how many hours the students will spend doing homework if they spend 15 hours watching TV

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{7}{8}(15)+\frac{57}{2}$ =15.4 hours

So the student is expected to spend 15.4 hours doing homework

What value is an x worth

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol.
