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
Answer:
x = 7 is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what you do:
<em>x + 16 = 4x - 5</em>
<em>-3x + 16 = -5</em>
<em>-3x = -21</em>
x = 7 is your answer.
The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:
Slope = (3 -12) / (4-0)
Slope = -9/4
The answer is the 3rd choice.
