Write a paragraph to help Miguel explain to Hannah how to complete the problems. Be sure to explain the process step-by-step (re member he is helping a 4th grader) and don’t forget to explain how to find the common denominator. 1.) 14/15 multiplied by 5/2
2.) 24/60 divided by 8/15
1 answer:
Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions. 14/15 * 5/2 Step 1. Multiply the numerators. 14 * 5 = 70 Step 2. Multiply the denominators 15 * 2 = 30 Step 3. Simplify the fraction. 70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3 *the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3. Steps in Dividing fractions. 24/60 ÷ 8/15 Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers. Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8. Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions. 24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480 Step 3. Simplify the fraction. 360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4 360 ÷ 40 = 9 ; 9 ÷ 3 = 3 480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4

Answer:
C. (x + 4)(x + 5).
Step-by-step explanation:
We need 2 numbers whose product is + 20 and whose sum is + 9.
They are + 5 and + 4 , so
x2 + 9x +20
= (x + 4)(x + 5).
The equation of the line is y = -2/3(x) - 4
