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

The price of a mobile phone decreased from $375 to $250 during a clearance sale. What is the percent of decrease in the price?
Tresset [83]
So decrease is 375-250=75

so convert 75/375 to percent
percent means part out of 100 so 
x/100=x%

divide 125/375=0.3333/1

multiply by 100/100=33/100=33%

the answer is 33% or B

45 Points, Question 2 In Attachment. Asap if possible.
Masja [62]

Answer: x = \frac{-5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

3^{4x-5} = (\frac{1}{27}) ^{2x+10}

1/27 can be written in index form as 3^{-3}

The equation then becomes:

3^{4x-5} = (3^{-3})^{2x+10}

Equating the coefficient

4x - 5 = -3 ( 2x + 10)

4x - 5 = -6x - 30

10x = -30 + 5

10x = -25

x = -25/10

x = -5/2

x = - 2.5

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. y=2/3x+9;(-6,5)
STatiana [176]

The perpendicular equation is y = -3/2x - 4.

You can find this by first realizing that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So since it starts at 2/3 we flip it and make it a negative and the new slope is -3/2. Now we can use that and the point to get the y intercept using slope intercept form.

y = mx + b

5 = (-3/2)(-6) + b

5 = 9 + b

-4 = b

And now we can use our new slope and new intercept to model the equation.

y = -3/2x - 4
