Hii

<em>Yes! They are indeed related.  When dividing fractions, we need multiplication. Say, for example. We need to multiply the reciprocal of the second fraction to the first.  So. If we needed to answer a question like "2/4  divided by 1/2" We would need to find a common denominator. We find common denominators by multiplication. We can do this 2 ways. See below.</em>

<em />

  1. <em>For one, we could multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.</em>
  2. <em>For two, we could see what 2 and 4 both multiply by. In this case 8.</em>

<em>Then we would need to divide 2 and 1. </em>

  • <em>1 can go into 2 twice. 1+1 is 2.</em>
  • <em>Then we multipy to find our denominator (this is a example of using multiplication with divison). </em>
  • <em>2x4 is 8. So the fraction would be 2/8.</em>

<em />

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em />

  • <em>Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator GCD of 2 and 8 is 2</em>
  • <em>Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD 2 ÷ 2 / 8 ÷ 2</em>
  • <em>Reduced fraction: 1 / 4 Therefore, 2/8 simplified to lowest terms is 1/4.</em>

<em />

<em />

<em>Simplified you'd get 1/4.</em>

<em />

<em>(tip, once the numerator hits 1, you can no longer simplify)</em>

<em />

<em />

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

Answer:Multiplication and division both need to have a common denominator or else you would get an incorrect answer. Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators."

What is the area of the pentagon, rounded to the nearest tenth?
Rudik [331]

The area of the pentagon, rounded to the nearest tenth will be 32.7 square cm. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is a polygon?</h3>

The polygon is a 2D geometry that has a finite number of sides. And all the sides of the polygon are straight lines connected to each other side by side.

A regular pentagon has an apothem measuring 3 cm and a perimeter of 21.8 cm.

Then the side length of the pentagon will be

5 x Side length = 21.8 cm

     Side length = 4.36 cm

Then the area of the pentagon, rounded to the nearest tenth will be

Area of pentagon = 5 x area of triangle

Area of pentagon = 5 x 1/2 x 4.36 x 3

Area of pentagon = 32.7 square cm

Thus, the correct option is C.

More about the polygon link is given below.

Do all ratios compare a part to a whole number? Explain
STALIN [3.7K]
Yes and no... 

A ratio can be defined in a new ways. Let's say I have a party with twelve people, four of whom are male and eight of whom are female. The ratio of male to female guests would be written as 4:8, neither of which is the whole number (12) but which instead relate parts of the whole. I could alternatively write the ratio of male guests to total guests as 4/12. This does compare it to the whole. A ratio relates two quantities by showing how many times one quantity is contained within or contains another quantity.

By the phrasing of your question, I'm not sure if you maybe mean whole number as an integer. If that's the case, then yes, ratios are almost always written as integers. If I had something like 8.5:7, I would multiply it by two to get 17:14, which is a correct ratio.

We need the radius to find the surface area. Since we have the circumference we can use that to find the radius.

C = 2πr
23 = 2(3.14)r
23 = 6.28r
23/6.28 = r 
3.66 = r

Now use the radius to find the surface area.

SA = 4πr²
SA = 4(3.14)(3.66)²
SA = 168.33 

Surface area is C. 168 cm²

Hope this helps :)
