can you assume that any fraction is in simplest form if either the numerator or denominator is a prime number?

In most cases, if both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction are prime for example in the fraction 2/5 the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator will be 1 which means that the fraction is in lowest terms.

However, if the numerator and the denominator are the same prime number for example 7/7 the fraction is not in lowest terms because the greatest common factor is the prime number in this case 7.

7/7 can be written in lowest terms as 1/1 therefore if the numerator and denominator of a fraction are both prime, the fraction is not always in lowest terms so the given statement is false.

Answer:

some occasions yes and other no for example if a fraction was 3/9 the numerator is prime but the fraction can still be simplified to 1/3 but a number were 3/5 then you wouldn't be able to simplify it

Clara wants to cover the top of her jewelry box. The top of the box is a rectangle with a length of 9.4 cm and a width of 8.3 cm

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: 78.02 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you need to apply the formula for calculate the area of a rectangle, which is shown below:

$A=l*w$

Where $A$ is the area of the rectangle, $l$ is its lenght and $w$ is its width.

2. You know that the rectangle has a length of 9.4 cm and a width of 8.3 cm, therefore, you must substitute these values into the formula. Then, you obtain the following result:

$A=(9.4cm)(8.3cm)\\A=78.02cm^{2}$
