Explain two different ways to simplify 6/12ths

2 answers:

<span>You can reduce a fraction by finding a common multiple. 6 and 12 are both divisible by 2 because they are both even numbers. You can start there. Always remember, anything you do to the top (numerator) you must do to the bottom (denominator). The rules are different for adding and subtracting, so don't worry about that. Divide the 6 by 2 to get 6/2=3 and divide 12 by 2 to get 12/2=6. You now have a new fraction 3/6. Since 3 is odd, you can't divide by 2 anymore. can you divide by 3? Yes. 3/3=1 and 6/3=2 so your new fraction is 1/2. Hope this is what you were looking for.</span>

You can simplify 6/12 by finding the highest factor that can go into 6 and 12 which is 6 and then you divide 6/12 by 6 which is 1/2 so this is one way simplifying 6/12 hope this helped!:)

Answer:

Liam has 3 whole pizza along with 1/3 of a pizza.

In decimal, Liam has 3.33 of Pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quantity of pizza with Martin = 5/6 of a pizza

Pizza with Liam = 4*Quantity of pizza with Martin

Pizza with Liam = 4*5/6 of a pizza

Pizza with Liam = 10/3 of a pizza = 3 1/3 of pizza.

Thus, Liam has 3 whole pizza along with 1/3 of a pizza.

In decimal Liam has 3.33 of Pizza.

Sarah had 8 guests at her birthday party. She cut her round cake into 12 equal slices. 8 of the slices were eaten. What is the a

Dvinal [7]

Answer:120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

cake is cut into 12 equal pieces

We know the top view of cake is similar to circle .

So, if a circle is divided into 12 equal parts then

each part subtend an angle of

∅ = 360/12 = 30%

If 8 slices were eaten , then 4 slices are remaining

These 4 slices measure subtend equal angle at the center therefore

4 slice measure a total of 4 × ∅

➡️ 4 x 30°

➡️ 120°
