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

Pedro opened a grilled cheese food cart. He insures his food cart for $90,000.00 for fire. What's his premium if the rate per $1

Nonamiya [84]

1.) Divide the value of the grilled cheese food cart by $100
$90,000 / $100 = $900
2.) Multiply the quotient by the rate per $100
$900 * $.83 = $747
3.) Therefore, B. $747 is Pedro's premium for his grilled cheese food cart

Can some one help me with this question: Solve 5x-22=20

Annette [7]

Answer: x = 8.4

Work: So, the goal of this equation is to get x by itself, and the first thing we need to do is get 22 out of that current side. To do that, we are going to add 22 on both sides, cancelling it on the side it's currently on. So, the new equation is 5x = 42. Now, we need to divide 5 on both sides, and like I said, I'll cancel on the side it's currently on. So, the answer is x = 8.4

I hope this helps, and Happy Holidays! :)

Mark is buying different nuts to make a mixed nut platter to serve at a party. He buys 1.2 kilograms of peanuts, 300 grams of al

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

1900

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg = 1000g

1.2kg = x

1 kgx = 1200 kg.g

1kg. 1kg

x = 1200 g

1 decagram = 10g

40 decagram = x

1 dg.x = 400 dg.g

1 dg. 1 dg

x = 400g

so the total= 1200g +300 + 400g=1900g

without the unit = 1900
