Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions.
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.
14/15 * 5/2
Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3
*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.
Steps in Dividing fractions.
24/60 ÷ 8/15
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.
Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.
Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.
24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4
360 ÷ 40 = 9 ; 9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Change the common denominator so 3/4 ---> 9/12
3/4 and 9/12 are equal
Hope this helps!!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A vertical stretch of a function means the output values have changed by a factor of 3 or multiplication by 3. Recall, an exponential function has the basic form
.
If our equation is 
, then a=1. To stretch it vertically by a factor of 3, we multiply a by 3. So 1(3)=3. The value of a now becomes 3.
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
4(s-3)-4=4+8(3)
=4+24
=28
4s-12-4=28
4s-16=28
4s=28+16
4s=44
s=44/4
s=11
