Answer:

5/10 = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying fractions are a way of making a fraction simpler!

Let's take the most well known example of 5/10.

5/10 has a common factor right? What is the GCF, or greatest common factor of 5 and 10? 5 is the GCF because that is the greatest number both 5 and 10 can be divided by.

We can simplify the fraction by dividing both, the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 5. Basically:

5/10

-------

This can give us 5/5/10/5

Solving this would give us 1/2.

Now, lets check our work. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5:

1x5/2x5

5/10 is the product!

Hope this helps!

Ava and Kelly ran a road race, starting from the same place at the same time. Ava ran at an average speed of 6 miles per hour. K

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

It will took 0.375 hours for Ava and Kelly to be 3/4 miles apart.

To calculate how long after they start they will be 3/4 miles apart, we need to write two equations.

So, writing the equations, we have:

Calculations for Ava:

We have the following information,

$v_{Ava}=6mph$

Then, writing the equation,

$x_{Ava}=x_{o}+v_{Ava}*t$

$x_{Ava}=x_{o}+v_{6mph}*t$

Calculations for Kelly:

We have the following information,

$v_{Kelly}=8mph$

We need to calculate when Kelly will be 3/4 miles apart of Ava, so, it's position will be the Ava's position plus 3/4 miles.

Then, writing the equation,

$x_{Ava}+0.75miles=x_{o}+v_{Kelly}*t$

$x_{Ava}+0.75miles=x_{o}+v_{8mph}*t$

Now, substituting Ava's speed into the second equation, we have:

$x_{o}+6mph*t+0.75miles=x_{o}+8mph*t$

$6mph*t+0.75miles=+8mph*t$

$8mph*t-6mph*t=0.75miles$

$2mph*t=0.75miles$

$t=\frac{0.75miles}{2mph}=0.375hours$

Hence, we have that it will took 0.375 hours for Ava and Kelly to be 3/4 miles apart.

Have a nice day!

Which is different? Find "both" answers.

zimovet [89]

Answer : The different is, find BC - AC and find AC + CB, find AB and find CA + BC are same.

Step-by-step explanation :

As see that, AB is a line segment in which point C is represented in between the line.

As we are given that:

AC = 3

CB = 7

So,

AC + CB = 3 + 7 = 10

Similarly,

CA + BC = 3 + 7 = 10

Similarly,

AB = AC + CB = 3 + 7 = 10

But,

BC - AC = 7 - 3 = 4

From this we conclude that, find AC + CB, find AB and find CA + BC are same things while find BC - AC is a different thing.

Hence, the different is, find BC - AC and find AC + CB, find AB and find CA + BC are same.
