If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah

Answer: 1.5
Step by step explain:
Answer:
given you are asked to simplify

Step-by-step explanation:
You have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate.
The conjugate of a+bi is a-bi.
When you multiply conjugates, you just have to multiply first and last.
(a+bi)(a-bi)
a^2-abi+abi-b^2i^2
a^2+0 -b^2(-1)
a^2+-b^2(-1)
a^2+b^2
See no need to use the whole foil method; the middle terms cancel.
So we are multiplying top and bottom of your fraction by (-3+4i):

So you will have to use the complete foil method for the numerator. Let's do that:
(-3+5i)(-3+4i)
First: (-3)(-3)=9
Outer:: (-3)(4i)=-12i
Inner: (5i)(-3)=-15i
Last: (5i)(4i)=20i^2=20(-1)=-20
--------------------------------------------Combine like terms:
9-20-12i-15i
Simplify:
-11-27i
Now the bottom (-3-4i)(-3+4i):
F(OI)L (we are skipping OI)
First:-3(-3)=9
Last: -4i(4i)=-16i^2=-16(-1)=16
---------------------------------------------Combine like terms:
9+16=25
So our answer is ![\frac{-11-27i}{25}{/tex] unless you want to seprate the fraction too:[tex]\frac{-11}{25}+\frac{-27}{25}i](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B-11-27i%7D%7B25%7D%7B%2Ftex%5D%20unless%20you%20want%20to%20seprate%20the%20fraction%20too%3A%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%5Btex%5D%5Cfrac%7B-11%7D%7B25%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B-27%7D%7B25%7Di)
