First, we know that when multiplying fractions, we multiply both the numerator and denominator.
so, in 4/9 • 4/5,
4•4 = 16, and
9•5 = 45
so, 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45.
now, we’ll look for the Least Common Factor
factors are numbers that you can multiply together to = another number.
the LEAST common Factor is the # that is smallest that you can divide both numbers by, in an equation and get a whole number.
for instance, 3•3 and 1•9 are the only ways to get 9, so, the factors are 1, 3, 9
let’s look for the LCF in 16 and 45. -
if we find the ways to get 16, we have:
1•16, 2•8, and 4•4
so, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
this is called FACTORING :)
the ways to get 45 are...
1•45, 3•15, and 5•9, so the FACTORS are
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, & 45.
- compare the factors of 16 & 45,
none of them are the same besides 1, and we know that dividing these numbers by 1 will not do anything.
because of this, we can not reduce 16/45, so the reduced answer to 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45
Answer:
z = 189/44
Step-by-step explanation:
The "varies jointly" relationship can be expressed by ...
y = kxz
We can find k from the given values.
40 = k(10)(9)
40/90 = k = 4/9 . . . divide by the coefficient of k
Now we want to find z for given values of x and y. That can be found from ...
y = (4/9)xz
9y/(4x) = z . . . . . multiply by 9/(4x)
Filling in the new numbers, we have ...
z = 9·105/(4·55)
z = 4 13/44 = 189/44 ≈ 4.2954...(repeating 54)
Answer:
17/12 = 1 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
The common denominator of 4 and 3 is 12.
The equivalent fraction of 3/4 is 9/12.
The equivalent fraction of 2/3 is 8/12.
Their total is 17/12 (or 1 5/12).
Answer:
What 108 represents here is that the total number of phones she has to fix each week is 108 phones
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear equation is
P = 108-23d
compare this with the general form;
y = mx + c
we have;
P = -23d + 108
We can see that 108 represents the y-intercept in this case
The x-value at the y-intercept is 0
So what this mean is that the number of phones she has to fix each week is 108
