<h3>Answer: 16/33</h3>

It's in p/q form where p = 16 and q = 33.

=======================================================

Work Shown:

x = 0.484848.....

100x = 48.4848.....

I multiplied both sides by 100 to move the decimal over 2 spots. Both decimal values for x and 100x have an infinite string of "48"s repeated after the decimal point. When we subtract, those infinite strings will cancel out

100x - x = 99x

48.4848..... - 0.484848..... = 48

So after subtracting straight down, we have the new equation 99x = 48 which solves to x = 48/99

Divide both parts by the GCF 3 to fully reduce

48/3 = 16

99/3 = 33

Therefore, x = 48/99 = 16/33 = 0.484848...

I recommend using a calculator to confirm that 16/33 = 0.484848...

Side note: your calculator may round the last digit, but this is of course rounding error

5/6-1/8 Solve by finding a common denominator A)30/48 B)34/48 C)38/48 D)42/48

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

B) 34/48

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.

The difference is ...

$\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{6}\cdot\dfrac{8}{8}-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot\dfrac{6}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{40-6}{48}=\boxed{\dfrac{34}{48}}$

Additional comment

The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.

5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result

Using the least common denominator does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.

Factor. 49x^2−36y^2 Enter your answer in the boxes.

wel

$\\Rewrite \ in \ form.\\\\(7x)^2 - (6y)^2\\\\\\\\Use \ difference \ of \ squares \ rule.\\\\(7x + 6y) (7x - 6y)\\\\\\Therefore, \ you \ get \fbox{(7x+6y)&(7x-6y)}.$
