Answer:
1. 7/9
2. 7/16
3. 3/7
4. 123/125
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Simplify the following:
2/9 + 5/9
2/9 + 5/9 = (2 + 5)/9:
(2 + 5)/9
2 + 5 = 7:
Answer: 7/9

2. Simplify the following:
3/4 - 5/16
Put 3/4 - 5/16 over the common denominator 16. 3/4 - 5/16 = (4×3)/16 - 5/16:
(4×3)/16 - 5/16
4×3 = 12:
12/16 - 5/16
12/16 - 5/16 = (12 - 5)/16:
(12 - 5)/16
12 - 5 = 7:
Answer: 7/16

3. Simplify the following:
6/7×1/2
6/7×1/2 = 6/(7×2):
6/(7×2)
6/2 = (2×3)/2 = 3:
Answer: 3/7

4. Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator
0.984=0.984/1
Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 10^3 = 1000
(0.984/1)×(1000/1000)= 984/1000
Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 984 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 8,
(984/8) = 123
(1000/8) = 125
Therefore
X=123/125
In conclusion,
Answer: 0.984=123/125
