First, we know that when multiplying fractions, we multiply both the numerator and denominator.
so, in 4/9 • 4/5,
4•4 = 16, and
9•5 = 45
so, 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45.
now, we’ll look for the Least Common Factor
factors are numbers that you can multiply together to = another number.
the LEAST common Factor is the # that is smallest that you can divide both numbers by, in an equation and get a whole number.
for instance, 3•3 and 1•9 are the only ways to get 9, so, the factors are 1, 3, 9
let’s look for the LCF in 16 and 45. -
if we find the ways to get 16, we have:
1•16, 2•8, and 4•4
so, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
this is called FACTORING :)
the ways to get 45 are...
1•45, 3•15, and 5•9, so the FACTORS are
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, & 45.
- compare the factors of 16 & 45,
none of them are the same besides 1, and we know that dividing these numbers by 1 will not do anything.
because of this, we can not reduce 16/45, so the reduced answer to 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45
For 20% out of 100% it would be 1/5 as you need 5 20s for 100
Answer:
C. (4,28)
Step-by-step explanation:
The substitution method requires you to input a specified number in place of a variable. In this case, the variable 'x' should be replaced by the number 4. Using the order of operations, we know that multiplication should be applied before subtraction. When we replace 'x' with 4, we get the equation 'y=8(4)-4'. Multiplying 8 and 4 gives us 32. If we subtract 4 from 32, we get 28. The answer ends up being 'y=28'.
That is the first part of our solution. What we are actually looking for is an ordered pair. We know ordered pairs are written in the form (x, y). First, we need to find the 'x'. The 'x' has been given to us from the beginning, it is 4. Next is the 'y'. This is what we needed to find using substitution. We ultimately concluded that the 'y' is equivalent to 28. Therefore our ordered pair is (4, 28), the letter choice C.
I hope this helped you and that I clearly elaborated on the answer choice.
