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!

The height, h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by h = −16t2 + 64t + 80, where t is the time in seconds. How long doe

Gwar [14]

Answer:

t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the height h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by :

$h=-16t^2+64t+80$

Where t is in seconds

We need to find how long does it take the ball to hit the ground? When it hits the ground, its height will be equal to 0. So,

$-16t^2+64t+80=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-64\pm \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=\dfrac{-64+ \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16},\dfrac{-64-\sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=-1\ s\ \text{and}\ t=5\ s$

Neglecting negative time.

It means ball will take 5 seconds to hit the ground.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

195

Step-by-step explanation:

Let wining name have, x votes

1st = x

2nd = x - 53

3rd = x - 79

4th = x - 105

x + (x - 53) + (x - 79) + (x - 105) = 963

x + x - 53 + x - 79 + x - 105 = 963

4x - 237 = 963

4x = 963 + 237

4x = 1200

x = 1200 / 4

x = 300

4th = x - 105

x - 105 = 300 - 105 = 195

The shape would be exactly the same because any number multiplied by 1 equals itself.
