Answer:

For your area models you would draw two rectangles and divide one into 2 equal sections, and the other one with 8 equal sections. You then shade 1 box out of the first triangle with 2 equal sides. Then you would shade 7 boxes on the rectangle with 8 equal sides. These diagrams would show you that 7/8 and 1/2 are not equivalent.

To find out what fractions are equivalent to 1/2 you would take 1/2 and times the numerator and denominator by the same number.

1/2*2/2= 2/4

2/4=1/2

1/2*9/9= 9/18

9/18=1/2

2/4 and 9/18 both equal 1/2

Hope this helps ;)

What is the completely simplified equivalent of 2/(5+i)?
Bezzdna [24]

namely, let's rationalize the denominator in the fraction, for which case we'll be using the <u>conjugate</u> of that denominator, so we'll multiply top and bottom by its <u>conjugate</u>.

so the denominator is 5 + i, simply enough, its conjugate is just 5 - i, recall that same/same = 1, thus (5-i)/(5-i) = 1, and any expression multiplied by 1 is just itself, so we're not really changing the fraction per se.

\bf \cfrac{2}{5+i}\cdot \cfrac{5-i}{5-i}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{\stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{(5+i)(5-i)}}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{\stackrel{\textit{recall }i^2=-1}{5^2-i^2}}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{25-(-1)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{2(5-i)}{25+1}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{26}\implies \cfrac{5-i}{13}
