What fraction is equivalent to 30/360?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

30/360 to lowest fraction equivalent

Now, we can write 30 as 3×10

Also, we can write 360 as 36×10

Then, we have

(3×10)/(36×10)

Then, 10 cancel 10, we are left with

3/36

Also we can write 36 as 12×3

Then, we have

3/(12×3)

Also, 3 cancel 3, we are left with

1/12

Then the lowest fraction is 1 / 12

1/12

Describe and correct the error(s) made in each of the problems below.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}

\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations </u>

It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them

  • When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
  • When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
  • Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different

The first expression is

1-x / (5-x)(-x)=x-1 / x(x-5)

Let's arrange into format:

\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}

Now for the second expression

5/s+2/5=2/s

Let's arrange into format

\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}+\frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been

\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}

0.4(2x-9)-0.6(4x+5)=
masha68 [24]

Answer:

From what I can comprehend I believe the answer is <em>3.2x + -4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4(2x-9) = 0.8x - 9

0.8x - 9 - 0.6(4x+5)=

0.8x - 9 + 2.4x+5

0.8+2.4 = 3.2x

-9 + 5 = -4

3.2x + -4
