30 POINTS why are 3/4 and 6/8 equivalent

Mathematics
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation: In order to decide whether the given fractions are equivalent, first write each fraction in lowest terms. Remember, a fraction is written in lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1.

For our first fraction which is 3/4, the greatest common factor of 3 and 4 is 1, the fraction is already in lowest terms.

For our second fraction however, since the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 is 2, we must divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 which gives us 3/4.

3/4 = 3/4 which means these fractions are equivalent.

3/4 and 6/8 are equivalent because if you reduce 6/8 in lowest terms, you end up with the fraction 3/4.

The equation of a line perpendicular to y = 3 and passes through the point (24, -56).
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line y = 3 is a horizontal line with slope zero (0).

We wish to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3.  Such a line would be a vertical one.  Vertical lines do not have slopes defined (due to division by zero).

Thus the general form of the equation of this new line is x = c.

This new line passes through (24, -56).  Thus, x must be 24:  x = 24

Two students, Jennifer and Jamal, factored the trinomial 6x2 − 3x − 9. Jamal factored it as 3(2x − 3)(x + 1) and Jennifer factor
GaryK [48]
Jamal factored it completely.

in Jennifer's answer, 3x+3 has a common factor of 3 which can be factored to become 3(x+1) which is what Jamal did.

Which fraction is in reduced form?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  C  5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is written in reduced form if there are no common factors in the numerator and denominator. Since you know your multiplication tables, you can easily identify the common factors:

  A 20 = 5·4, so 4 is a common factor 4/(4·5) = 1/5

  B 6 = 2·3, 9 = 3·3, so 3 is a common factor (2·3)/(3·3) = 2/3

  C 13 is not a multiple of the prime number 5, so there are no common factors. 5/13 is a reduced fraction

  D 14 = 2·7, 21 = 3·7, so 7 is a common factor (2·7)/(3·7) = 2/3

The population of a small town is decreasing by 2% per year. The population in the year 2017 was 3,850. A. By how many people wi
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

A. 77

B. 3,773

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, computation of given data are as follows,

Population in 2017 = 3,850

Decrease rate = 2% per year

(A) We can calculate number of population decrease from 2017 to 2018 by using following formula,

Number of population decrease = Population in 2017 × Decrease rate

= 3,850 × 2%

= 77

(B). Total population in 2018 = 3,850 - 77

= 3,773
