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!

Logan is getting a second dog and wants to increase the length of the play space by 3 feet and the width by 3 feet. What will be

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

$(3x+3y+9)\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the length of the original play space

y-----> the width of the original play space

we know that

The area of the original play space is equal to

$A=xy$

The area of the new play space is equal to

$An=(x+3)(y+3)\\An=xy+3x+3y+9$

Find the difference

$An-A=(xy+3x+3y+9)-(xy)\\An-A= (3x+3y+9)\ ft^{2}$

Answer:

-0.8⁰F

You subtract 3.7 from 4.5 and you get 0.8 and you add a negative sign because -4.5 is bigger than positive 3.7

Find the 17th term in the sequence for which a1 = 10 and d = -3.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

d. -38

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence concepts:

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is as follows:

$a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d$

In which d is the common diference between each term.

We can expand the general equation to find the nth term from the first, by the following equation:

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)*d$

In this question:

$a_{1} = 10, d = -3$

17th term:

$a_{17} = a_{1} + (17-1)*d = 10 + 16*(-3) = -38$

So the correct answer is:

d. -38
