<span> First, reduce the fraction to lowest terms, e.g. 8/6 = 4/3.

Look at the denominator. Split it into its prime factors. If its prime factors only consist of 2's and 5's, then it will be terminating.

Examples:
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, so terminating
25 = 5 x 5, so terminating
2000 = 2 x 1000 = 2 x (2 x 5) x (2 x 5) x (2 x 5), so terminating
12 = 2 x 3, so repeating (has prime factor 3, which is not 2 or 5)
13 = 13, so repeating (has prime factor 13, which is not 2 or 5)  Hope this helps!!

7/8 yard of material is needed to make a blanket, how many blankets can be made from 21 yards of material?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

the question translates to asking how many times does 7/8 fit in 21, so 21 divided by 7/8.

when we divide by a fraction, we can multiply by it's inverse, so 21 divided by 7/8, is 21 multiplied by 8/7. so:

21×8/7 = (21×8)/7 = (21/7)×8 = 3×8 = 24

The answer is 10 because all the angles are equal making it a equilateral triangle.

Therefore, the sides are all equal to one another, 3x - 8 = 5x - 20.

You just solve for x and get 6. You then plug in 6 for x and evauluate the equation, getting 10.
