Answer:

1. 4/12, 3/9, 2/6, 5/15

2. 4/8, 8/16, 6/12

3. 2/8, 4/16, 3/12

4. 6/8, 9/12, 4/16

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming your question is about all 4 problems shown so I'll explain how to solve all of them.

1. The question is asking you to find an equivalent fraction to 1/3. The easiest way to do this is to reduce all of the options given.

To reduce fractions, first determine if the numerator and denominator share any factors. If they do, divide both terms by the shared factors until you no longer get whole numbers.

Step 1: reduce answer choices

6/16 = 3/8 (done by dividing both terms by 2)

4/10 = 2/5 (divide both by 2)

3/8 = 3/8 (fully reduced)

2/5 = 2/5 (fully reduced)

4/12 = 1/3 (divide both by 4)

5/10 = 1/2 (divide both by 5)

1/2 = 1/2 (fully reduced)

3/9 = 1/3 (divide both by 3)

2/6 = 1/3 (divide both by 2)

5/15 = 1/3 (divide both by 5)

3/8 = 3/8 (fully reduced)

3/4 = 3/4 (fully reduced)

2. This question is solved the same way as question 1.

Step 1: reduce answer choices

2/5 = 2/5

6/9 = 2/3

4/8 = 1/2

3/9 = 1/3

8/16 = 1/2

8/10 = 4/5

7/12 = 7/12

6/12 = 1/2

3. This question is solved the same way as questions 1 and 2.

Step 1: reduce answer choices

3/8 = 3/8

2/8 = 1/4

4/9 = 4/9

2/7 = 2/7

4/16 = 1/4

10/14 = 5/7

6/9 = 2/3

3/12 = 1/4

4. This question is solved the same way as questions 1, 2, and 3.

Step 1: reduce answer choices

6/8 = 3/4

4/9 = 4/9

4/6 = 2/3

9/12 = 3/4

10/12 = 5/6

6/9 = 2/3

12/16 = 3/4

7/9 =7/9

Reika [66]

Answer: $0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 dozen is equal to 6 cupcakes

Divide 5.88 by 6 to get 0.98

This is the price for 1 cupcake, which is also the unit price.

Using the given information, give the vertex form equation for each parabola.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot this point and the directrix on a coordinate plane, you can see that the directrix is 1/4 of a unit below the vertex. Since, by nature, a parabola opens in the direction opposite the directrix and "hugs" the focus, this is a positive x-squared parabola (meaning it opens upwards). The formula for this type of a parabola is, in vertex form,

$4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2$

where p is distance (in units) between the vertex and the directrix and h and k are the coordinates of the vertex. For us, p = .25, h = 7, and k = -6. Filling in our formula:

$4(.25)(y+6)=(x-7)^2$

Simplify the left side to

$1(y+6)=(x-7)^2$ which simplifies, in its entirety, to

$(x-7)^2-6=y$
