Answer:

A 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equation to find the percentage 2/7 equals:

Variable x = percentage

2/7 = x/100

Cross multiply:

2 × 100 = 7 × x

200 = 7x

Divide:

28.57142... = x

About 30% (I rounded to 30% because it is a nice number to use when all other numbers end in 5 or 0)

If Alexa has about 30% saved, she will need to save about 70% more. Find the solution that is closest to 70%.

A is 3/4 which comes out to 75%. So far, this sounds like the best answer. Let's check the others just in case.

B is 1/2, or 50% which isn't as close as A was to 70%.

C is 1 1/4 which means 125% needs to be saved. This would mean Alexa is in debt and hasn't saved any money which is not the case.

D is 1/4, or 25%. The trick here is that she's saved about 30% so 25% is closest, but we are looking for how much more she needs to save.

How would I solve 11/15 + 3/10 with work please?!

AnnyKZ [126]

First you need to find a common denominator. 11/15 = 22/30

3/10= 9/30

9/30+22/30= 1 1/30

Hope this helps!

How do defined terms and undefined terms relate to each other?

Ksivusya [100]

UNDEFINED terms can be combined to define other terms. Noncollinear points, for example, are points that do not lie on the same line. DEFINED terms can be combined with each other and with undefined terms to define still more terms.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1

$\frac{\frac{y^2-4}{x^2-9}} {\frac{y-2}{x+3}}$

Let us change middle bar to division sign.

$\frac{y^2-4}{x^2-9}\div \frac{y-2}{x+3}$

We now multiply with the reciprocal of the second fraction

$\frac{y^2-4}{x^2-9}\times \frac{x+3}{y-2}$

We factor the first fraction using difference of two squares.

$\frac{(y-2)(y+2)}{(x-3)(x+3)}\times \frac{x+3}{y-2}$

We cancel common factors.

$\frac{(y+2)}{(x-3)}\times \frac{1}{1}$

This simplifies to

$\frac{(y+2)}{(x-3)}$

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2

$\frac{1+\frac{1}{x}} {\frac{2}{x+3}-\frac{1}{x+2}}$

We change the middle bar to the division sign

$(1+\frac{1}{x}) \div (\frac{2}{x+3}-\frac{1}{x+2})$

We collect LCM to obtain

$(\frac{x+1}{x})\div \frac{2(x+2)-1(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+2)}$

We expand and simplify to obtain,

$(\frac{x+1}{x})\div \frac{2x+4-x-3}{(x+3)(x+2)}$

$(\frac{x+1}{x})\div \frac{x+1}{(x+3)(x+2)}$

We now multiply with the reciprocal,

$(\frac{(x+1)}{x})\times \frac{(x+2)(x+3)}{(x+1)}$

We cancel out common factors to obtain;

$(\frac{1}{x})\times \frac{(x+2)(x+3)}{1}$

This simplifies to;

$\frac{(x+2)(x+3)}{x}$

ANSWER TO QUESTION 3

$\frac{\frac{a-b}{a+b}} {\frac{a+b}{a-b}}$

We rewrite the above expression to obtain;

$\frac{a-b}{a+b}\div {\frac{a+b}{a-b}}$

We now multiply by the reciprocal,

$\frac{a-b}{a+b}\times {\frac{a-b}{a+b}}$

We multiply out to get,

$\frac{(a-b)^2}{(a+b)^2}$

ANSWER T0 QUESTION 4

To solve the equation,

$\frac{m}{m+1} +\frac{5}{m-1} =1$

We multiply through by the LCM of $(m+1)(m-1)$

$(m+1)(m-1) \times \frac{m}{m+1} + (m+1)(m-1) \times \frac{5}{m-1} =(m+1)(m-1) \times 1$

This gives us,

$(m-1) \times m + (m+1) \times 5}=(m+1)(m-1)$

$m^2-m+ 5m+5=m^2-1$

This simplifies to;

$4m-5=-1$

$4m=-1-5$

$4m=-6$

$\Rightarrow m=-\frac{6}{4}$

$\Rightarrow m=-\frac{3}{2}$

ANSWER TO QUESTION 5

$\frac{3}{5x}+ \frac{7}{2x}=1$

We multiply through with the LCM of $10x$

$10x \times \frac{3}{5x}+10x \times \frac{7}{2x}=10x \times1$

We simplify to get,

$2 \times 3+5 \times 7=10x$

$6+35=10x$

$41=10x$

$x=\frac{41}{10}$

$x=4\frac{1}{10}$

Method 1: Simplifying the expression as it is.

$\frac{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{10}}$

We find the LCM of the fractions in the numerator and those in the denominator separately.

$\frac{\frac{5\times 3+ 4\times 1}{20}}{\frac{(5\times 5+3\times 4)}{40}}$

We simplify further to get,

$\frac{\frac{15+ 4}{20}}{\frac{25+12}{40}}$

$\frac{\frac{19}{20}}{\frac{37}{40}}$

With this method numerator divides(cancels) numerator and denominator divides (cancels) denominator

$\frac{\frac{19}{1}}{\frac{37}{2}}$

Also, a denominator in the denominator multiplies a numerator in the numerator of the original fraction while a numerator in the denominator multiplies a denominator in the numerator of the original fraction.

That is;

$\frac{19\times 2}{1\times 37}$

This simplifies to

$\frac{38}{37}$

Method 2: Changing the middle bar to a normal division sign.

$(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{5})\div (\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{10})$

We find the LCM of the fractions in the numerator and those in the denominator separately.

$(\frac{5\times 3+ 4\times 1}{20})\div (\frac{(5\times 5+3\times 4)}{40})$

We simplify further to get,

$(\frac{15+ 4}{20})\div (\frac{(25+12)}{40})$

$\frac{19}{20}\div \frac{(37)}{40}$

We now multiply by the reciprocal,

$\frac{19}{20}\times \frac{40}{37}$

$\frac{19}{1}\times \frac{2}{37}$

$\frac{38}{37}$
