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>

<em />

<em>Please give brainliest.</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."

If the zeros of a quadratic function, F, are -2 and 4, what is the equation of the axis of symmetry of F
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

if the zeroes are (-2,0) and (4,0), then the axis of symetry is going to be right in the middle of those two, with the graph reflected equally on either side.

so you get:

(4-2)÷2=1

therefore the equation of the axis of symetry is x=1

Maya is cleaning out her closet and is shocked when she realizes that she has 55 shirts. She decides to donate 40% of them. ​
ipn [44]

Maya is cleaning out her closet and is shocked when she realizes that she has 55 shirts. She decides to donate 40% of them. How many more shirts does she have for her ?

Answer:

The number of T-shirt that Maya will have after donating 40% is 22 shirts

Explanation:

Given:( as per the above data provided)

Total number of T-shirts = 55

Percentage of T-shirts she wish to donate = 40%

To find:

Remaining number of T-shirt left after donating?

Formula to be used:

Remaining T shirt = (Total number of T-shirt /100) X The Percentage of T-shirt she wish to donate

Steps:

Substituting all the above provided values in the formula we get,

              = (55/100)*40

              = 22 shirts.

Thus the number of T-shirts left with her is 22.
