numerator = top part of the fraction

denominator = bottom part of the fraction

* means multiply

you can only add the numerator when the denominator is the same

cant add the denominator

denominator has to be the same

1/5 = 4/20

4/20 + 7/20 = 11/20

1 7/8 = 15/8

3/4 ÷ 15/8 =

3/4 * 8/15 =

24/60 = divide both top and bottom by 12 =

Step-by-step explanation:

a)1/5+ 7/20

1.find the CM of both denominators

2.multiply both the denominator and the numerator using the CM

=(1/5)×20 +(7/20)

=20/100 +35/100

since you multiply

3.Now add both numerators ( don't add the denominators)

=the answer is 55/100

What monomial multiplied by - 3x ^ 3 * y equals 18x ^ 9 * y ^ 4 Explain how you were able to determine the coefficient and the e

Archy [21]

Answer:

-6x^6y^5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to find p such that

(-3 $x^{3}$ y)(p) = 18 $x^{9}y^{4}$

So just divide to find p

p = $\frac{18x^{9}y^{4} }{-3x^{3}y}$ = -6 $x^{6}y^{5}$

A man travels 2 miles, turn left and travels 3 miles, turn left again and travel 6 miles. How far is he from the starting point?

Lelu [443]

Answer: 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

this creates a polygon which can be shortened to be a triangle with side lengths 3 and 4 and the hypotenuse unknown. to find the side length you use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9 + 16 = c^2

25 = c^2

sqrt(25) = c

c = 5

The quadrilateral shown is a rectangle. What is the measure of CE?

aalyn [17]

Answer:

|CE|=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral is shown in the attachment

Recall that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

This implies that:

|AC|=|BD|

We substitute the expressions to get:

$2x-6=5x-21$

This is now a linear equation in one variable.

Group similar terms to get:

$-6+21=5x-2x$

Simplify to get:

15=3x

Divide both sides by 3 to get:

$5=x$

Recall again that the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other.

$|CE|=\frac{1}{2}|AC|$

$|CE|=\frac{1}{2}|2x-6|$

Plug x=5

$|CE|=\frac{1}{2}|2*5-6| =10-6=\frac{1}{2}*4=2$
