PLZZZ HELP ASAP!!! It’s real simple

So when you are adding fractions how do you know when you need to simplify the numbers and how do you simplify?

rosijanka [135]

Let's look at an example.

We'll add the fractions 1/6 and 1/8

Before we can add, the denominators must be the same.

To get the denominators to be the same, we can...

multiply top and bottom of 1/6 by 8 to get 8/48
multiply top and bottom of 1/8 by 6 to get 6/48

At this point, both fractions involve the denominator 48. We can add the fractions like so

8/48 + 6/48 = (8+6)/48 = 14/48

Add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.

The last step is to reduce if possible. In this case, we can reduce. This is because 14 and 48 have the factor 2 in common. Divide each part by 2.

14/2 = 7
48/2 = 24

The fraction 14/48 reduces to 7/24

Overall, 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24

A triangle has angles that measure 46 and 84 what is the third angle?

pentagon [3]

The measure of the third angle is 50 because a triangle has a sum of 180 degrees by angle.

so... 46+84=130 and to get to 180, the last angle has to be worth 50.

Distance Formula: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-1, -8)

Point (-4, -4)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

Substitute in points [Distance Formula]: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-4--1)^2+(-4--8)^2}$
[√Radical] (Parenthesis) Subtract: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-3)^2+(4)^2}$
[√Radical] Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{9+16}$
[√Radical] Add: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{25}$
[√Radical] Evaluate: $\displaystyle d = 5$
