Answer:
We want to simplify:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5)
The first step is to write the first term as a single rational number.
We know that:
3*1 = 3
and 4/4 = 1
then:
3*1 = 3*(4/4) = (3*4)/4 = 12/4
We do this because we want to have the same denominator in both numbers, so we can directly add them.
Then we get:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (12/4 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (13/4)*(3/5)
And remember that in the multiplication of rational numbers the numerator are multiplied together and the same for the denominators, then we get:
(13/4)*(3/5) = (13*3)/(4*5)
If we solve the multiplications we get:
(13*3)/(4*5) = (39/20)
Now, we can notice that in the numerator we have two prime numbers, 13 and 3.
And in the denominators, we have a 4 (which is equal to 2*2) and a 5.
So the prime numbers in the numerator and the denominator are all different, this means that we can not simplify it furthermore.
Then we have:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (39/20)
3/5 = 6/10 (multiply 2 to top and bottom to get 6/10)
There are 6 1/10ths, so the answer is 6 sections
hope this helps :D
90%. 9/10 is equivalent to 90/100 making the percentage 90%
It is the outside part of what your working with
(C) 3y+5
First you would distribute the 3 across the (y+4) to get 3y + 12, the you'd subtract 7 to get 3y+5
