\frac{5}{8} -  \frac{2}{5}

First, find the LCD (least common denominator) of the two fractions.
List the multiples of each denominator and find the one that is common.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
40 is your LCD.

Second, what can you divide by to make the denominators of each fraction '40'? Whatever you do to the bottom you must do to the top.
\frac{5*5}{8*5} - \frac{2*8}{5*8}

Third, multiply.
\frac{25}{40} - \frac{16}{40}

Fourth, since the denominators are the same now, we can combine them.
\frac{25-16}{40}

Fifth, subtract '25 - 16' to get 9.
\frac{9}{40}

Since \frac{9}{40} is already in the simplest form, it is your answer.

Answer as fraction: \frac{9}{40}
Answer as decimal: 0.225

Find the inverse of the matrix , if it exists
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

So, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of the matrix, the formula is:

A^{-1} = 1/|A| * Adj A

Inverse of the matrix exists if |A| does not equal to 0

|A| = 7 * 9 -( -2 * -10)

|A| = 63 - 20

|A| = 43

AS |A| ≠ 0

so inverse exist.

now finding Adj A

Adj A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}9&2\\10&7\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{cc}9/43&2/43\\10/43&7/43\end{array}\right]

So, option A is correct.
