Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the hats in Deb's Hat Shop, 1/2 are purple and another 3/10 are red. What fraction of the hats are either purple or red?

The Fraction of the hats that are either purple or red are:

Purple + Red

= 1/2 + 3/10

Lowest Common Denominator is 10

= 5 + 3/10

= 8/10

= 4/5

Therefore, the fraction of the hats tha are either purple or red is 4/5

Answer:

3. ∠BDE ≅ ∠BAC; Corresponding Angles Postulate 5. ΔBDE ~ ΔBAC; Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

3) Statement ∠BDE ≅ ∠BAC;

Corresponding Angles Postulate

The Corresponding Angles Postulate states that given two parallel lines, in this case DE and AC cut by a transversal one (AB) than these corresponding angles are congruent.

5) ΔBDE ~ ΔBAC; Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate

If two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent (∠D and ∠A, ∠E and ∠C) than these triangles are similar.

4/5 divided by 1/3 plus 1/5 minus 3/5

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

as

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:fractions\:}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}:\quad -\frac{2}{5}$

so

$=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}\right)}$

join $\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}:\quad -\frac{1}{15}$

so

$=\frac{4}{5\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=\frac{4}{-5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{4}{5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}5\cdot \frac{1}{15}\::\quad \frac{1}{3}$

so

$=-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\:\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}:\quad \frac{12}{1}$

so

$=-\frac{12}{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a$

$=-12$

Therefore

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$
