Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. Two fractions that are different but equivalent have, by definition, numerators and denominators that are multiples of each other. In other words, multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number will produce an equivalent fraction. Though the numbers in the new fraction will be different, the fractions will have the same value.For instance, if we take the fraction 4/8 and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get (4×2)/(8×2) = 8/16. These two fractions are equivalent.(4×2)/(8×2) is essentially the same as 4/8 × 2/2 Remember that when multiplying two fractions, we multiply across, meaning numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator.Notice that 2/2 equals 1 when you carry out the division. Thus, it's easy to see why 4/8 and 8/16 are equivalent since multiplying 4/8 × (2/2) = 4/8 still. The same way it’s fair to say that 4/8 = 8/16.Any given fraction has an infinite number of equivalent fractions. You can multiply the numerator and denominator by any whole number, no matter how large or small to obtain an equivalent fraction.

You find out if the denominators have a common factor and if the numerators can be multiplied by the same number to get the other fraction

What you do is plug the numbers for each variable ur equation will look like 2(6)(-3)+4
lets solve it step by step 2(6)(-3)+4
12(-3)+4 then -36+4 and ur answer will be -32

Lol what do I put so stuck

Answer:

[See Below]

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the "Fraction" column, all the fractions in this column must add up to 1 (because the whole bag contains only Red, Green, Blue or Other coloured beads).

So we work out the sum of missing fractions: $\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}$

And so we know the fractions in the missing boxes must add up to $1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$ .

This means that the number of blue and green beads is 2/3rds of the total number of beads in the bag. There are 12+4=16 blue+green beads so

$\frac{2}{3} \times \text{Number of beads} = 16 \Rightarrow \text{Number of beads} = 24$ .

So if there are 24 beads in the bag, then the red beads are 1/12th of 24 which is 2 and the other beads are 1/4 of 24 which is 6.

Finally to complete the missing fractions: there are 12 blue beads and 24 in total so the fraction of blue beads is 12/24 = 1/2. Similarly, there are 4 green beads so the fraction of green beads is 4/24 = 1/6.

(I thought this was a very tricky question. Let me know in the comments if something doesn't make sense, or if you need more explanation on any part, or even if you spot an easier way to do it that I can't.)

The sum of 4 consecutive number is 330 what is the sum of the largest and the smallest number

Drupady [299]

X + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 330
4x + 6 = 330
4x = 324, x = 81
Smallest number: 81
Biggest number: 81 + 3 = 84
Sum: 81 + 84 = 165
The answer is 165
