Explain two different ways to simplify 6/12ths

Mathematics

<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!:)

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
xxMikexx [17]

Hi There!

Solution,

Point Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now you have a reference equation of what the answer should look like.

By looking at the answer choices you can eliminate A.

Tip: When you have a negative number you are going to add. For Example, if you have -8, you will input x + 8 or y + 8.

Tip 2: When you have a positive number you are going to subtract. For Example, if you have 3 you will input x - 3 or y - 3.

We can eliminate B because its not subtracting 3.

We can also eliminate C because its not adding -8.

The best answer choice is D.

Answer,

y – 3 = 6(x + 8)

I hope you understand, so you can do this in the future on your own.

Hope This Helps :)

Please help me.Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below​
blagie [28]

There is an isosceles triangle.

The triangle is like two right triangles put together.

To find out the height of the triangle, we remove the other right triangle and we use the other triangle to find the height using the Pythagorean theorem.

Phytagoras Theorem :

b² = c² - a²

x² = 8² - (6÷2)²

x² = 64 - 3²

x² = 64 - 9

x² = 55

x = √55

So, the value of x is √55 (B)

<em>Hope </em><em>it </em><em>helpful </em><em>and </em><em>useful </em><em>:</em><em>)</em>
