We can chang efractions to compare them by multiplying them by 1 or x/x where x=x so
1/2=7/12?
make bottom numbers equal
2 times what=12
divide 2
what=6
1/2 times 6/6=6/12
6/12=7/12
6=7
false
so therefor it does NOT equal 7/12
2229Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 2.5
b)2.33
Step-by-step explanation:
a)

Bring the numerals to the right hand side and the x terms to the left hand side

Simplify

Divide 3 on both sides, to get x

b)

Bring the numerals to the right hand side and the x terms to the left hand side

Simplify

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior angles of a heptagon add up to 5*180 = 900
So
x + 143 + 116 + 135 + 135 + 116 + 155 = 900 Add up the known angles
x + 800 = 900 Subtract 800 from both sides
x + 800 - 800 = 900 - 800 Combine
x = 100
Answer: 1/20
To find P(Q and R), you have to multiply P(Q) by P(R) to get the probability that both events will occur. P(Q) = 1/8, and P(R) = 2/5, so when multiplied together, you get 2/40. This simplifies to 1/20, meaning P(Q and R) = 1/20.
