Let's start out with the general rule for simplifying fractions:

-- To simplify a fraction, look for a number that goes into
the numerator and denominator (a common factor). 

-- If you find one bigger than ' 1 ', then divide the numerator
and the denominator by it. 

-- Then try it again. 

-- When you don't find any common factor except ' 1 ',
then the fraction is in simplest form.
_________________________________________

On your Practice 9-2 sheet:

#1).  5/10
' 5 ' can go into both the numerator and the denominator,
so divide them both by it.  Then you have  1/2 .

#4).  3/15
' 3 ' can go into both the numerator and the denominator,
so divide them both by it.  Then you have  1/5 .

#7).  2/18
' 2 ' can go into both the numerator and the denominator,
so divide them both by it.  Then you have  1/9 .

#8).  25/60
' 5 ' can go into both the numerator and the denominator,
so divide them both by it.  Then you have  5/12 .

#9).  12/72
' 2 ' can go into both the numerator and the denominator,
so divide them both by it.  Then you have  6/36 .

That's not the simplest form yet.  ' 2 ' can go into both the
numerator and the denominator again, so divide them both by it. 
Then you have  3/18 .

That's STILL not the simplest form.  ' 3 ' can still go into both the
numerator and the denominator, so divide them both by it. 
Then you have  1/6 .  That's the simplest form.

#11).  The fraction of the test that will be word problems is

         (the number of word problems)
divided by
         (the total number of questions on the test) .

The total number of problems on the test is (20 + 10 + 5) = 35 .

So the word problems will be  5/35  of the test.
Simplify that.

Do EVERYTHING on this sheet the same way.  This sheet is
nothing but 14 different problems in simplifying fractions.

How many pounds of cashew nuts worth 75 cents a pound must be mixed with 10 pounds of pecans worth $1.50 a pound to make a mixtu
Trava [24]
Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.

Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.

An equation for the value of the mixture follows:

 $1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)

Solve this equation for c:  15 + .75c = c + 10.  Subtract .75c from both sides:

15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10.  Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.

Need 20 lb of cashews.


Check:  the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15.  The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15.     Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15?  Yes.  So c= 20 lb is correct.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right triangle, the side that is opposite of the right angle is called the hypotenuse. This side will always be the longest side of the right triangle. The other two (shorter) sides are called legs.
