Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5/ 6 is already in the simplest form. It can be written as 0.833333 in decimal form (rounded to 6 decimal places).

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator

GCD of 5 and 6 is 1

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

5 ÷ 1

6 ÷ 1

Reduced fraction:

5/ 6

Therefore, 5/6 simplified to lowest terms is 5/6.

True or false: Every kite is a rhombus, but not every rhombus is a kite.

horsena [70]

This is false. Kites can be shaped in many different ways so not all kites are rhombuses. Also, even the kites that look like rhombuses may not be rhombuses. Most kites have 2 pairs of sides with the same length. But, in order to be a rhombus all the sides have to be the same length but not all sides are the same length on a typical kite.

What is −13+2z=−56 Thanks

<h3>Original Equation:</h3>

$-\frac{1}{3}+2z=-\frac{5}{6}$

<h3>Steps:</h3>

<em>*To solve for a variable, isolate the desired variable onto one side.</em>

Firstly, we want to add 1/3 to each side however -5/6 and 1/3 do not share the same denominator, and we want them to have that and we can do that by finding the LCD, or lowest common denominator. To find the LCD, list the multiples of 6 and 3 and the lowest multiple that they share is their LCD. In this case, their LCD is 6. Multiply -1/3 by 2/2:

$-\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{2}{2}=-\frac{2}{6}\\\\-\frac{2}{6}+2z=-\frac{5}{6}$

Now that we have common denominators, add both sides by 2/6:

$2z=-\frac{3}{6}\\\\2z=-\frac{1}{2}$

Next, you want to cancel out 2 to isolate z. Usually, one would divide both sides by 2, however remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal.</u> To find a number's reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator around. In this case, since 2 is a <em>whole number</em> this means that the denominator is 1. In this case: 2/1 would become 1/2. Multiply both sides by 1/2:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 2z= -\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\z=-\frac{1}{4}$
