Show how the greatest common factor of the numbers 10 and 15 can be used to reduce the fraction 10/15.

Answer:

1. You can divide both sides of an equation by any number except zero. If dividing both sides simplifies the equation, then it's better to do than than to distribute.

2. A fraction can be thought of as a ratio. To keep the value of the fraction the same, you must multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. If you multiply only the denominator by a number, the value of the fraction changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

6(3x + 4) = 12

Since the goal in solving this equation is to isolate x, meaning you want x alone on the left side, you need to do whatever legal operations that will accomplish that. Since 6 is a factor and (3x + 4) is a factor in a multiplication, you can divide both sides by 6 simplifying the left side. It is also correct to distribute on the left side, but it will make the solution longer.

Method 1: start by dividing both sides by 6

6(3x + 4) = 12

Step 1: Divide both sides by 6

3x + 4 = 2

Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides

3x = -2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3

x = -2/3

Method 2: start by distributing on the left side

6(3x + 4) = 12

Step 1: distribute the 6 on the left side

18x + 24 = 12

Step 2: subtract 24 from both sides

18x = -12

Step 3: divide both sides by 18

x = -12/18

Step 4: reduce the fraction

x = -2/3

As you can see, the solution is the same. The only difference is one extra step with the reduction  of the fraction in the case of distributing the 6.

2.

This has to do with the meaning of fractions.

For example, take the fraction 1/2.

This fraction means that you divided the unit into 2 equal parts, shown by the denominator of 2. Then you are taking 1 of those parts, shown by the numerator of 1. 1/2 means 1 out of 2. You can also think of 1/2 as the ratio of 1 to 2.

To add and subtract two factions, we need a common denominator. That means we must rewrite one or both fractions being added or subtracted in a way that they both have the same denominator. We need the fractions to represent the same amounts they did originally. If you changed only the denominator, you'd be changing the actual value of the fraction.

You need to add 1/2 and 3/10.

The least common denominator of 2 and 10 is 10, so we need to have both fractions with a denominator of 10. 3/10 already has a denominator of 10, so we just need to change 1/2 to a fraction with 10 in the denominator. By multiplying 2 by 5 we get 10, so we need to multiply the denominator of 1/2 by 5 to end up with a denominator of 10.

1/2 + 3/10

If you only changed the denominator of 1/2 to 10 by multiplying 2 * 5 = 10, you'd end up with

1/10 + 3/10,

but now think of the fraction 1/10 and compare it to 1/2.

1/2 means divide the unit into 2 equal parts and take 1 part.

1/10 means divide the unit into 10 equal arts and take 1 part.

1/2 is not the same as 1/10, so rewriting the addition

1/2 + 3/10 as 1/10 + 3/10 is actually changing the problem.

Now see what happens when we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, in this case 5.

We change 1/2 to (1 * 5)/(2 * 5) = 5/10. 1/2 equals 5/10. If you divide a unit into 10 equal parts and you take 5 parts, you have taken the same number of parts as if you had divided the unit into 2 parts and taken 1 part.

In other words, 1/2 is exactly the same amount as 5/10. The only difference between 1/2 and 5/10 is the way they are written.

Now we can correctly continue with the addition:

1/2 + 3/10 = 5/10 + 3/10 = 8/10

Finally we reduce 8/10 to 4/5 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

===============================================

Explanation:

Let's calculate the angle B based off the arcs CDF and GHJ

B = (far arc - near arc)/2

B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2

B = (130 - 40)/2

B = 90/2

B = 45

----------

Now let's change GHJ to 30 degrees, while keeping the other arc the same.

B = (far arc - near arc)/2

B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2

B = (130 - 30)/2

B = 100/2

B = 50

Angle B has increased from 45 degrees to 50 degrees.

Let's first denote:

F - a favorable response

F' - an unfavorable response

S - successful

We know that:

[tex]P(F) = 0.6\\\\P(F')=0.4\\\\P(F\cap S)=0.5\\\\P(F'\cap S)=0.3[/tex]

So, from the conditional probability, we can calculate:

[tex]P(S|F) = \dfrac{P(S\cap F)}{P(F)} = \dfrac{0.5}{0.6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\approx\boxed{0.83}[/tex]

Answer E.

Answer:

E IS CORRECT

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

m∠A = 62°

m∠C = 28°

AC = 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle ABC,

m∠B = 90°, Cos(C) = [tex]\frac{15}{17}[/tex] and AB = 16 units

Since, Cos(C) = [tex]\frac{\text{Corresponding side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

Cos(C) = [tex]\frac{\text{Corresponding side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{15}{17}[/tex]

[tex]\text{C}=\text{Cos}^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})[/tex]

m∠C = 28.07°

m∠C ≈ 28°

Therefore, side BC = 15 units and AC = 17 units

Now we apply Sine rule in the given triangle.

Sin(A) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

         = [tex]\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}[/tex]

         = [tex]\frac{15}{17}[/tex]

A = [tex]\text{Sin}^{-1}(\frac{15}{17} )[/tex]

A = 61.93°

m∠A = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

7.083, 7.2,and 7.21

This should be the answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figure above is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find x

To find x we use tan

tan∅ = opposite/ adjacent

From the question

The opposite is 9

The adjacent is x

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

[tex] \tan(30) = \frac{9}{x} [/tex]

[tex]x \tan(30) = 9[/tex]

Divide both sides by tan 30

[tex]x = \frac{9}{ \tan(30) } [/tex]

We have the final answer as

Answer:

  451. No, the angles are wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

450. AB = 15, BC = 10, and CD= 7. Find the length DA.

  This cannot be done without additional information about the sort of figure that ABCD is. If these are points on a line segment, we need to know their order. If these are points on a quadrilateral, we need to know its description in more detail.

If these are points ordered ABCD on a line, then AD = 15+10+7 = 32.

451. See the attached figure. BPQD is not a parallelogram: BCQ is not a straight line. (The internal angles of a pentagon are 108°, but would need to be 120° for BCQ to be a straight line, making BP parallel to DQ.) Instead, BPQD is an isosceles trapezoid.

Answer:

x = 55.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

the value of x = 9  and y =11.

Given the system of equation:

12x + 4y =152                  .......[1]

32x + 12y = 420              ......[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;

Using distributive property:  

            ......[3]

On solving equation [2] and [3] simultaneously we get;

x = 9

Substitute the value of x= 9 in [1] to solve for y;

108 + 4y = 152

Subtract 108 from both sides we have;

108 + 4y -108 = 152- 108

Simplify:

4y = 44

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

Simplify:

y= 11

therefore, the value of x = 9  and y =11.

Answer:

$3.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Meters of material required = 1.2 meters

Cost per meter of material = $0.85

Direct labor hours = 0.1

Cost of direct labor per hour = $15

Overhead rate = $9 per direct labor hour

Standard cost per unit of product :

(Direct material cost per unit + direct labor cost per unit + overhead cost per unit)

Direct material cost per unit :

Material needed × cost per meter = (1.2 × $0.85) = $1.02

Direct labor cost per unit :

Direct labor hour × cost per hour = ( 0.1 × $15) = $1.5

Overhead cost:

0.1 * $9 = $0.9

Standard cost :

($1.02 + $1.5 + $0.9) = $3.42

Answer:

131 1/4 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the figure, you would have to divide the figure into two parts.  The figure can be divided into two rectangles.

Rectangle 1

The length is 11 3/4 in.  The width is 6 in.

A = lw

A = (11 3/4 in.)(6 in.)

A = 70 1/2 in.²

Rectangle 2

The length is 9 in.  The width is 6 3/4 in.

A = lw

A = (9 in.)(6 3/4 in.)

A = 60 3/4 in.²

Add the two areas together.

70 1/2 in.²  +  60 3/4 in.²  =  131 1/4 in.²

Answer:

it will take her 79.76 minutes to rise to the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance to the surface = 40 yards

speed of rising = 1 foot per seconds

1 foot = 1 second

since the total distance is in yards, let's convert from foot to yards:

1 yard = 3 feet

1 foot = 1/3 yards = 0.333 yards

0.33 yards = 1 second

Next, let's convert from seconds to minutes

60 seconds = 1 minute

∴ 1 second = 1/60 minute

1 second = 0.0167 minute

Therefore the speed at which she rose:

speed

0.333 yards = 0.0167 minutes

Now for a distance of 40 yards:

[tex]1\ yard = \frac{0.0333}{0.0167} minutes\\\therefore\ 40\ yards = \frac{0.0333}{0.0167} \ \times\ \frac{40}{1} \\= \frac{1.332}{0.0167} \\= 79.76\ minutes[/tex]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 white and 4 yellow  = 6

P(yellow) = yellow /total = 4/6 = 2/3

We keep the ball

Now there are 2 white and 3 yellow  = 5

P(yellow) = yellow /total = 3/5

P ( yellow, keep, yellow) = 2/3 * 3/5 = 2/5

We are given 4 yellow balls and 2 white balls. In total, this adds up to 6.

Divide the number of yellow balls to the total number of balls:

4/6 -> 2/3

We are also given 3 yellow and 2 white.

Divide the number of yellow balls to the total number of balls:

3/5

Divide both fractions together:

3/5 * 2/3 = 6/15 = 2/5

Answer:

The options are not visible enough (See Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x:-  1   || 2   || 3   || 4   || 5

y:-  13 || 22 || 37 || 58 || 85

Required

Determine if the function is quadratic

Calculate the difference between the values of y

[tex]Difference = 22 - 13 = 9[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 37 - 22 = 15[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 58 - 37 = 21[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 85 - 58 = 27[/tex]

The resulting difference are: 9 || 15 || 21 ||  27

Next; Calculate the difference between the difference of values of y

[tex]Difference = 15 - 9 = 6[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 21 - 15 = 6[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 27 - 21 = 6[/tex]

The resulting difference are: 6 || 6 || 6

For the function to be quadratic, the above difference must be the same and since they are the same (6), then the function represents a quadratic function.
