what is dividing fractions

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The simplest way I can describe dividing fractions is like multiplying fractions but upside down.

Example:

1/2 ÷ 1/3

To do this, the easiest way is to "flip" the second fraction.

It then becomes:

1/2 × 3/1

Then you just multiply across and you get a product of 3/2 or 1 1/2

David uses software to draw two triangles. He finds that he can use a rotation and a reflection to map one triangle onto the other, and he finds that the image of vertex D is vertex L, the image of vertex V is vertex C, and the image of vertex W is vertex Y. In how many different ways can David write a congruence statement for the triangles? Complete the explanation.

There are __ more ways with the order of the triangles reversed. There is a total of __ ways to write a congruence statement.

Answers

Transformation involves changing the position of a shape.

The complete statement is:

There are _3_ more ways with the order of the triangles reversed. There is a total of _9_ ways to write a congruence statement.

From the question, we understand that:

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle DVW \cong \triangle LCY}[/tex]

This mean that, the following 6 statements can be used as the congruent statements

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle DVW \cong \triangle LCY}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle DWV \cong \triangle LYC}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle VDW \cong \triangle CLY}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle VWD \cong \triangle CYL}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle WDV \cong \triangle YLC}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle WVD \cong \triangle YCL}[/tex]

A triangle has 3 sides, and there are 2 triangles in the question.

The number (n) of congruence statements is:

[tex]\mathbf{n = 3^2 = 9}[/tex]

The remaining (r) number of congruent statement is:

[tex]\mathbf{r = 9 - 6 = 3}[/tex]

So, the blanks should be completed with 3 and 9

Write the prime factorization of 42. Use exponents when appropriate and order the factors from least to greatest

Answers

42: 2,3,7
2 x 3 x 7 = 42

Answer:

42 = 2*3*7

Step-by-step explanation:

42 can be rewritten as 2*21, for example.  

2 is prime.  21 = 3*7.

Then 42 = 2 * 21 is also equal to:

         42 = 2*3*7. where these factors are ordered from least to greatest.  The prime factors of 42 are {2, 3, 7}.

C) 6/8

D) 1/3

Answers

B : 5/8 because 1/2+1/8 = 5/8

Answer:

B) 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we are working with fractions that have different denominators, we need to find the lowest common denominator, which would be 8, because 1/8 cannot be divided anymore in 2 or 4, but 1/2 can be multiplied in eighths.

So, to make 1/2 into eighths, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 in order for 2 to become 8:

1/2 * 4 = 4/8

Now, we can add the amounts of the total granola bar that he consumed:

4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8

Because 5/8 cannot be simplified any further, that is our final answer.

Hope this helps :)

The heights of Rahul, Akash, Meera and Lakshmi are 1.54m, 1500mm,
152cm,1560mm respectively.
a) Arrange their heights in ascending order.
b) Who is the tallest among them?

Answers

Answer:

A) Akash (1.5m), Meera (1.52), Rahul (1.54m), Lakshmi (1.56m)

B) Lakshmi is the tallest, 1.56m tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Rahul- 1.54m

Akash- 1500mm

Meera- 152cm

Lakshmi- 1560mm

Let's start by converting all the measurements to meters.

Rahul is already in meters, so he can just stay the same.

1500mm = 1.5m

152cm = 1.52m

1560mm = 1.56m

So our new measurements are:

Rahul- 1.54m

Akash- 1.5m

Meera= 1.52m

Lakshmi= 1.56m

We can now make our conclusions.

A) Akash (1.5m), Meera (1.52), Rahul (1.54m), Lakshmi (1.56m)

B) Lakshmi is the tallest, 1.56m tall

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert all the heights to meters:

Rahul 1.54m

Akash 1.50 m

Meera 1.52 m

Lakshmi 1.56m

Now, let's arrange their heights in ascending order (shortest to tallest):

Akash 1.50 m

Meera 1.52 m

Rahul 1.54m

Lakshmi 1.56m

a) 1500 mm, 152 cm, 1.54 m, 1560 mm

b) therefore Lakshmi is the tallest.

How many times does the graph y = (x + 3)2 touch the x-axis?
x

Answers

Answer:

one

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x + 3)^2

Start with the parent function y = x^2.

y = x^2 touches the x-axis at only 1 point, (0, 0).

The difference between y = (x + 3)^2 and its parent function y = x^2, is that in y = (x + 3)^2, x was replaced by x + 3. That is a translation of 3 units left. The function y = (x + 3)^2 still only touches the x-axis once, but at x = -3.

Answer: one

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, set the function y = (x + 3)^2 touch the x-axis (where y = 0) and find the actual value(s) of x:

y = (x + 3)^2 = 0

Taking the square root of both sides, we get x + 3 = ±0, or x = -3.  As this equation is a quadratic, there MUST be two roots; the roots are {-3, -3}.  Thus in theory, the graph touches the x-axis in two places, but these two places are identical:   (-3, 0)

what is the circumference of a circle with an area of 20 pi

Answers

Answer:

28.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle= πr², where r is the radius.

Given that the area is 20π,

20π= πr²

Divide both sides by π:

20= r²

Square root both sides:

[tex]r = \sqrt{20} [/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt{4(5)} [/tex]

[tex]r = ( \sqrt{4} )( \sqrt{5} )[/tex]

[tex]r = 2 \sqrt{5} [/tex]

Circumference of circle= 2πr

Substitute the value of r:

Circumference of the circle

[tex] = 2(\pi)( 2\sqrt{5} )[/tex]

[tex] = 4\pi \sqrt{5} [/tex]

= 28.1 units (3 s.f.)

Answer:

Sequence 1: Translate 5 units to the right, and 5 units down

Sequence 2: Reflect across the origin, translate 1 unit down, 1 unit to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Chose 1 point to focus in, such as (-1, 1)

Move that point 5 units to the right, and 5 units down. See how it matches up with the same corner of the red square?

Now, use that same point, and change the signs of both the x and y, this is to reflect across the origin. (In reality, you are just reflecting across the x and y axis)

So you originally have: (-1,1) -> (1, -1)

Now move this point one unit to the right, and 1 unit to the left.

It may seem that you made it touch the wring corner, but do the same thing with another corner's points. They all flipped!

Answers

Answer:

11th term is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

30, 27 , 24 ,......0

a = first term = 30

Common difference = second term - first term = 27 - 30 = -3

nth term = a+(n-1)*d

a + (n-1)d = 0

30 + (n - 1) *(-3) = 0

30 + n*(-3) -1*(-3) = 0

30 - 3n + 3 = 0

      -3n + 33 = 0

               -3n = -33

                   n = -33/-3
