Explain two different ways to simplify 6/12ths

2 answers:

5 0

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.

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!:)

Find the TWO integers whos product is -12 and whose sum is 1

julsineya [31]

Answer:

$\rm Numbers = 4 \ and \ -3.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The sum of two numbers is 1 .

The product of the nos . is 12 .

And we need to find out the numbers. So let us take ,

First number be x

Second number be 1-x .

According to first condition :-

$\rm\implies 1st \ number * 2nd \ number= -12\\\\\rm\implies x(1-x)=-12\\\\\rm\implies x - x^2=-12\\\\\rm\implies x^2-x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x^2-4x+3x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\\\\rm\implies (x-4)(x+3)=0\\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\red{\rm x = 4 , -3 }}$

Hence the numbers are 4 and -3

Please answer this correctly

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sorted data set is ...

1 2 3 3 5 7 8 9

The median is the average of the middle two numbers: (3+5)/2 = 4.

Replacing one of the 3s with a 1 makes the data set be ...

1 1 2 3 5 7 8 9

The average of the middle two numbers is (3+5)/2 = 4.

The median increases by 4 - 4 = 0.

Does it matter what interval you use when you find the rate of change of a proportional relationship

LekaFEV [45]

Proportions are the comparison of two equal ratios. Therefore, proportional relationships are relationships between two equal ratios. So yes, it does matter.. Interval: all the numbers between two given numbers.
