Rational expressions are multiplied and divided the same way numeric fractions are.
Answer:
129.6% profit
Step-by-step explanation:
1)Firstly in order to find the overall profit you take away $2.70 from $6.20 = $3.50
2)The next step is to put the profit over the amount paid = 3.50/2.70 = 35/27.
3)In order to find the percentaage you multiply 35/27 by 100 = 129.629 recurring. This rounded to 1 decimal place is 129.6%

Answer:
-4/8
Step-by-step explanation:
that's what my math says
that is not possible cause the first 2 indicate that the pattern is counting by 2s
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Given that x and y is even, we want to prove that xy is also even.
For x and y to be even, x and y have to be a multiple of 2. Let x = 2k and y = 2p where k and p are real numbers. xy = 2k x 2p = 4kp = 2(2kp). The product is a multiple of 2, this means the number is also even. Hence xy is even when x and y are even.
(b) in reality, if an odd number multiplies and odd number, the result is also an odd number. Therefore, the question is wrong. I assume they wanted to ask for the proof that the product is also odd. If that's the case, then this is the proof:
Given that x and y are odd, we want to prove that xy is odd. For x and y to be odd, they have to be multiples of 2 with 1 added to it. Therefore, suppose x = 2k + 1 and y = 2p + 1 then xy = (2k + 1)(2p + 1) = 4kp + 2k + 2p + 1 = 2(kp + k + p) + 1. Let kp + k + p = q, then we have 2q + 1 which is also odd.
(c) Given that x is odd we want to prove that 3x is also odd. Firstly, we've proven above that xy is odd if x and y are odd. 3 is an odd number and we are told that x is odd. Therefore it follows from the second proof that 3x is also odd.
