4/10 × 1/6 = 2/30
You can cross cancel 4 and six...then multiply 2/10 × 1/3 which equals 2/30
If you want you can simplify 2/30 to 1/15
Mike has 78 feet of fencing available for his garden, this is the perimeter (P) of the rectangle:
Perimeter: P=78 feet
The formula of Perimeter is:
P=2(W+L), where W is the width and L is the length, then:
P=78→2(W+L)=78
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2(W+L)/2=78/2
W+L=39
If the shape is of a golden rectangle, we know:
L=1.6W
Replacing this above:
W+1.6W=39
Adding similar terms:
2.6W=39
Solving for W
2.6W/2.6=39/2.6
W=15 feet
L=1.6W=1.6(15)→L=24 feet
Answer: T<span>he dimensions of the garden are: Width=15 feet and Length=24 feet. </span>
Reduce the expression, if possible, by cancelling the common factors.
Exact Form:
−4/15
Decimal Form:
−0.26
Basically do
y2-y1 divided by x2-x1
14-10 divided by -7-8
which equals -4/15
Well you could do 8 apple and 3 oranges per box since there are 64 apples and 24 oranges. You can either use trial and error to see what what values give you an answer of 8 for each amount of fruit. Or you can find the greatest common factor which happens to be 8 in this case, and divide each by that can come to the conclusion that 8 apples go into 8 boxes and 3 oranges do into 8 boxes Over all the answer would be 8 apples and oranges per each box, to have a total number of 8 boxes.
I hope this helps!
