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

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The deceleration is the rate at which the car speed decreases. In this case the speed of the car goes all the way down to 0 ft/s and in order to do that it travelled 50 ft.  So we will call the initial speed at which the car started to brake "v_0" and use Torricelli's equation to find it. The equation is given by:

v^2 = (v_0)^2 + 2*a*S

Where v is the final speed, v_0 is the initial speed, a is the rate of acceleration and S is the space travelled. Using the values that the problem gave to us we have:

0^2 = (v_0)^2 - 2*64*50

0 = (v_0)^2 - 6400

(v_0)^2 = 6400

v_0 = sqrt(6400) = 80 ft/s

Notice that in this case "a" was negative, since the car was decelerating instead of accelerating.

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Answer:

3in up per foot across

Step-by-step explanation:

4ft across 12in height

6ft across 18in height

So for every 2ft it goes up 6” which is a ratio of 1ft:3in so the answer to the rate of change is 3in up per 1ft across
