Why multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number results in an equivalent fraction?

1 answer:

8 0

Im Not That sure But I Belive That If Denominators Are The Same Keep It And Just Do The Math In The Numerator's . ( For Adding ) But Multiplying You Do Both and If The Numerator Is The Bigger Than The Denominator Your Going To Have To Do Extra Math Like A Common Denominator ( I Belive ) .

Answer: 139°

Reasoning:

Angle 3 and 5 are congruent, so you can put their expressions equal to each other and solve.

14x-1=9x+14

To isolate the x to one side, subtract the 9x from the 14x.

5x-1=14

Now to get the constants on one side, add the 1 to the 14.

5x=15

Now divide both sides by 5 to isolate the x.

5x/5=15/5

x=3

Now that we know that, we can figure out angle 3.

9(3)+14

27+14= 41

Angle 3 = 41°

Now that we know what angle 3 is, we can subtract it from 180° to figure out angle 8 since angle 3 and 8 are supplemtary angles, aka linear pairs.

180°- 41°= 139°

<h3>Double checking your answer:</h3>

41°+139°=180°

Makaila read 44 pages of her book yesterday and 2/3 of the book today. If she read a total of 200 pages in the past two days how

Answer:

Total number of pages in the book is 234.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the total number of pages in the book = <em>x</em>

Now, it is given that Makaila read 44 pages yesterday.

Also, Makaila read two-third of the book today. As we have assumed that, there are a total of x number of pages in the book, so we can say that Makaila read two-third of <em>x </em>number of pages today.

Number of pages read by Makaila today = $\frac{2}{3}\;of\;x=\frac{2}{3}\times\;x=\frac{2x}{3}$
