Does that help?
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.<span> Two fractions that are different but equivalent have, by definition, numerators and denominators that are multiples of each other. In other words, multiplying the numerator and denominator of a </span>fraction<span> by the same number will produce an equivalent fraction. Though the numbers in the new fraction will be different, the fractions will have the same value.</span><span>For instance, if we take the fraction 4/8 and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get (4×2)/(8×2) = 8/16. These two fractions are equivalent.(4×2)/(8×2) is essentially the same as 4/8 × 2/2 Remember that when multiplying two fractions, we multiply across, meaning numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator.Notice that 2/2 equals 1 when you carry out the division. Thus, it's easy to see why 4/8 and 8/16 are equivalent since multiplying 4/8 × (2/2) = 4/8 still. The same way it’s fair to say that 4/8 = 8/16.<span>Any given fraction has an infinite number of equivalent fractions. You can multiply the numerator and denominator by any whole number, no matter how large or small to obtain an equivalent fraction.</span></span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A company manufactures two types of fishing rods, standard and folding. The cost of manufacturing 2 folding rods and 1 standard is $35. If 5 standard and 7 folding rods were manufactured, the cost would be $145. How much does it cost to manufacture each type of rod.
let S = standar rod
F= folding rod
2F + S =35
2F + S -2F =35 - 2F
or S = 35-2F
7F + 5S =145
7F + 5S -7F =145 -7F
or 5S =145-7F
Since S=35-2F
5S = 5X (35-2F)
5S = 175 -10F
which equals 145-7F
175-10F = 145-7F
175-10F +10F = 145 -7F + 10F
175 = 145 +3F
175 -145 =145 -145 + 3F
30 = 3F
F = 10
but S =35 - 2F
so S = 35 -2X10
S = 35-20 =15
check:
if F = 10 and S = 15
then 5S +7F should equal 145
5X15 + 7X10 = 75 + 10 =145
so F=10, S=15
20000 because of the 7 is higher than 4 higher than 5
