Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For 
, we have two cases:
Therefore, for 
, we have the following cases:
Solving, we have:
.
Therefore,
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
Answer:
b=2.5
p=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the fraction and simplify it. So 10/8 would be 5/4
You multiply the 2 by 2, giving you h/4
So now you have 5/4=h/4
h=5 but now you have to divide both by 2 again so it can go back to the original fraction.
5÷2=2.5 and 4÷2=2
Second Problem! 4/2 is equal to 2/1
You can also multiply 4 by 3 to get the numerator as 12. Multiply the 4 by 3 and the 2 by 3
Now you have 12/6= 12/p
So p is 6
