3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution with Steps

3/4−2/5=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(3/4, 2/5) = 20

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(3/4×5/5)−(2/5×4/4)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

15/20−8/20=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

15−8/20=7/20

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to

3/4−2/5

and solve

(3×5)−(2×4)/4×5

=15−8/20

=7/20

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

On your lab bench, you have 2 mystery metal cubes. each cube has a mass of 10.0 grams. cube a has a density of 10 g/cm3. cube b

lianna [129]

To compare both, we find the volume of both cubes as follows:

V of cube A = 10 g / 10 g/cm^3 = 1 cm^3

V of cube B = 10 g / 0.37 g/cm^3 = 27 cm^3

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Each edge of cube b is three times larger than cube. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

What is the fully factored form of the expression 45x²y2 + 18x3

musickatia [10]

Assuming you meant 45x^2y^2+18*3 , it should be 9(5x^2y^2+6)

Help me will give brainliest

Answer:

The first option is correct, 12/30 and 25/30

Step-by-step explanation:

To get common denominators, you need to find the GFC (greatest common factor) of 5 and 6, which is 30. Then you would need to make the fractions equal the same as the original fractions, by multiplying.

2/5 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 6 times more than 5. so this means you multiply 2 by 6 to get 12. 12/30

5/6 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 5 times more than 6. so this means you multiply 5 by 5 to get 25. 25/30

Answer:

Correct option is

b. If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their corresponding sides are also equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given the line RQ, which is divided in two equal parts by a line PS which is perpendicular to RQ.

The foot S of PS is on the line RQ.

First of all, let us do a construction here.

Join the point R with P and P with Q.

Please refer to the attached image.

Now, let us consider the triangles PQS and PRS:

Side QS = RS (as given)

$\angle PSR = \angle PSQ = 90^\circ$

Side PS = PS (Common side in both the triangles)

Now, Two sides and the angle included between the two triangles are equal.

So by SAS congruence we can say that $\triangle PRS \cong \triangle PQS$

Therefore, the corresponding sides will also be equal.

RP = QP

RP is the distance between R and P.

QP is the distance between Q and P.

Hence, to prove that P is equidistant from R and Q, we have proved that:

b. If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their corresponding sides are also equal.
