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

Can someone help me with this ONE question? Write an equation.. and solve for X

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Equation: 720=(8x-1)+110+(5x+36)+116+(7x+19)+(6x-2)

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

A 6 sided polygon is 720° degrees

720=(8x-1)+110+(5x+36)+116+(7x+19)+(6x-2)

Simplify

720=(8x+5x+7x+6x)+(−1+110+36+116+19+−2)

Combine like terms:

720=26x+278

flip equation:

26x+278=720

subtract 278 from both sides

26x=442

divide by 26 both sides:

x=17

Hope this helps.

An office that dispenses automotive license plates has divided its customers into categories to level the office workload. Custo

grigory [225]

Answer:

UNIF(2.66,3.33) minutes for all customer types.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem above, it was stated that the office arranged its customers into different sections to ensure optimum performance and minimize workload. Furthermore, there was a service time of UNIF(8,10) minutes for everyone. Since there are only three different types of customers, the service time can be estimated as UNIF(8/3,10/3) minutes = UNIF(2.66,3.33) minutes.
