I need help on how to do this!!!?
1 answer:
Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.
Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.
Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.
-----------
Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10
The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10
Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10
<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is very important when factoring. Later on, you will forget to pull out a GCF and the answer will be wrong. Always look for a GCF before doing anything.
Let's try factoring these:
a.)
The greatest common factor of this expression is 9, because it is the maximum number that both can go into. Let's solve.
This is the simplest this expression can get. This would be your final answer. Let's try the other one.
b.)
The GCF of this one is 12. Let's simplify it.
This is also the simplest you can get it. You can do nothing further. So, your final answers are:
a.)
b.)
Given:
The pie chart shows the flavours of ice cream sold by a shop in one day.
There were a total of 270 ice creams sold.
To find:
The number of vanilla flavoured ice creams sold.
Solution:
We know that the complete central angle is 360 degrees.
From the given pie chart, it is clear that the central angle of the vanilla flavoured ice creams sold is 60 degrees.
Total ice creams sold = 270
Now, the number of vanilla flavoured ice creams sold is
Therefore, the number of vanilla flavoured ice creams sold is 45.
