When dividing fractions, the ________ term becomes the reciprocal.

2 answers:

5 0

Answer: Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.

Considering the definition of equation, the number of games Meredith need to play is 12.

<h3>What is an equation</h3>

An equation in mathematics is defined as an equality established between two expressions, in which there may be one or more unknown values, called unknowns, in addition to certain known data.

The unknown or unknowns represent the number (or numbers), if any, that make the equality true. This unknown number or numbers represent the solution of the equation. So when changing the unknown or unknowns by the solution, the equality must be true.

<h3>Solution in this case</h3>

Meredith is playing games at an arcade to earn tickets that she can exchange for a prize. This is represented by:

y=6x + 250

where:

x represents the number of games Meredith plays.
y represents the number of tickets she needs for the prize.

Meredith needs 322 tickets to exchange for the prize she wants. This is, y=322.

Replacing in the expression y=6x + 250:

322= 6x + 250

Solving taking into account that:

When a value you are adding is passed to another side of the equation, this value will be subtracting.
If a value is multiplying it goes to the other side of the equation by dividing.

322 - 250=6x

72= 6x

72÷6= x

Finally, the number of games Meredith need to play is 12.

Given: rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle ZBXY. If ZY = 5, XC = 3, DC = 4, then XY =

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The length of XY is either 10 or 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ZY = 5, XC = 3 and DC = 4.

Case 1: Rectangle ABCD is smaller than ZBXY.

The opposite sides of the rectangle are same.

$ZY=BC+XC$

$5=BC+3$

$2=BC$

The length of ABCD is 4 and width of ABCD is 2. The width of ZBXY is 5. The corresponding sides of the similar rectangles are is in the same proportion.

$\frac{4}{XY}=\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{4\times 5}{2}=XY$

$10=XY$

Therefore the value of XY is 10.

Case 2: Rectangle ABCD is larger than ZBXY.

$ZY=BC-XC$

$5=BC-3$

$8=BC$

The length of ABCD is 4 and width of ABCD is 8. The width of ZBXY is 5. The corresponding sides of the similar rectangles are is in the same proportion.

$\frac{4}{XY}=\frac{8}{5}$
