Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is in simplest form when the numerator and denominator cannot be further divide.
To simplify a fraction: divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest number that will divide both numbers exactly.
This, process is continued till we cannot find a common number to divide both numerator and the denominator.
In order to do so we can divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number as many times we want until we reach the simplest form of the fraction.
There is no such rule that we can only divide numerator and denominator one time when finding the simplest form.

Hence, the given statement is false.

If k = √31 and m = √26, which graph most closely represent the locations of K and M on a number line? The options are in the pic

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

√31 = 5.56....

√26 = 5.09....

So m is less than k but greater than 5.

k is greater than k but less than 6.

So the first option is more logical

What is (x+6)(x+4)(x-3) expand and simplify

mestny [16]

Answer:

x³ + 7x² - 6x - 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 6)(x + 4)(x - 3) ← expand the second and third factor, that is

(x + 4)(x - 3)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x - 3) + 4(x - 3) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x² - 3x + 4x - 12 ← collect like terms

= x² + x - 12

Now multiply this by (x + 6) in the same way

(x + 6)(x² + x - 12)

= x(x² + x - 12) + 6(x² + x - 12) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x³ + x² - 12x + 6x² + 6x - 72 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 7x² - 6x - 72

If the sales tax rate is 7.25% in California, then how much tax should a merchant charge in San Francisco for the sale of a $15

Semmy [17]

$15 x .0725 = 1.0875 which we have to round to $1.09
Notice how I changed the 7.25% to a decimal .0725 by moving it back two places.

The perimeter of a stop sign is 99.2 inches. Each side of the stop sign is equal.

san4es73 [151]

Answer: The equation can be written as 8n = 99.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In my answer, I used the variable n to distinguish itself as one side of the stop sign. 99.2 is the final perimeter in inches.

A stop sign is an octagonal shape (otherwise, it is made up of 8 equal sides). Therefore, with this information, you can interpret that the length of one side would be equal to the length of all of the other sides.

Hence, the answer can be represented as 8n = 99.2.
