Answer: The denominator of a fraction tells you the relative size of the pieces. Therefore, the reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size.

Answer:

We need to have a common denominator in order to subtract different fractions because if we have an example like.

5/2 - 6/8 we cannot do that because the denominator is not alike.

We have to use multiplication to help us here.

2 x 8 = 16 !

So. no we have 5/16

so now we do 5 x 8 = 40

So now my new fraction is - 40/16 BUTTTT 40/16 is an improper fraction. so 40/16 = 5/2

Now we are back at the square 1 so now we have to fix 6/8.

8 x 6 = 48

6 x 6 = 36.

--

2 x 24 = 48.

5 x 24 = 120 or 12

now we have 12/48 and  36/48.

We can subtract now!

Hope this helped for problems like this.

What is the value of x?​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

x ≈ 8.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{10}

Multiply both sides by 10

10 × sin60° = x, thus

x ≈ 8.66 ( to 2 dec. places )
