Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the biggest common number you can divide the numerator and denominator.

For example, we have our answer is 8/12 so you can divide it into 1,2, and 4. 8/12 divide by 1/1 = 8/12. 8/12 / 2/2 = 4/6. 8/12 / 4/4 = 2/3.

So the answer is 2/3.

Answer:

1/3 divided by 5/4

So we divide both the top by 3 and the bottom by 3 and so our final answer would be 4 over 7. So that's our simplified fraction

-------------

Invert and multiply:

Take the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply the dividend. The top and bottom are being multiplied by the same number. Since that number is the reciprocal of the bottom part, the bottom becomes one.

Find the biggest common number:

It could be said to be a "more correct" method. This is the correct way since, you can’t divide apples by oranges in the same way as you can’t divide fifths by fourths.

Which is an equation of a direct proportion?

meriva

$y=kx$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When we say that an amount of something increases as another amount increases, at the same rate, then we are talking about Direct Proportion. It is also true for an amount of something that decreases as another amount decreases, at the same rate. So "y varies directly as x" can be written as:

$y\propto x$

In other words:

$y=kx$

Where k is the constant of proportionality, and represents the slope of a line that passes through the origin.

Mr. Pete just got a great deal at Lowe’s on tiles for his new patio. He wants to

sdas [7]

Answer:

The fewest square tiles he can use without cutting any of them = 12 square tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dimensions of Mr. Pete's rectangular patio = 108 inches by 144 inches

The area of the patio = 108 in. × 144 in. = 15,552 in.²

We note that when square tiles are used the must fit both the length and the with of the rectangular patio

Therefore, we have;

The dimensions of the square tiles that the fewest number of tiles is the highest common factor, HCF, of 108 inches and 144

The HCF of 108 and 144 are found from by the prime factors as follows;

108 = 2² × 3³ = 2² × 3² × 3

144 = 2⁴ × 3² = 2² × 3² × 4

From which we have;

The HCF of 108 and 144 = 2² × 3² = 36

Therefore, the size of the sides of the square tiles that will give the fewest number of tiles is 36 inches

The number of the 36 inches square tiles that fit into the length of the rectangular patio = 144 inches/(36 inches/tile) = 4 tiles

The number of the 36 inches square tiles that fit into the breadth of the rectangular patio = 108 inches/(36 inches/tile) = 3 tiles

The total number of tiles he will use = (4 × 3) tiles = 12 tiles = The fewest square tiles he can use without cutting any of them.

Blababa [14]

Hi~!

Answer:

843

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 58 is a even number, and so is 48,894. So we can check this by multiplying 843, which is th number I got when I divided it, and multiply that by 58, then we get 48,894.

I hope this helps!~ :)
