First, we know that when multiplying fractions, we multiply both the numerator and denominator.
so, in 4/9 • 4/5,
4•4 = 16, and
9•5 = 45
so, 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45.
now, we’ll look for the Least Common Factor
factors are numbers that you can multiply together to = another number.
the LEAST common Factor is the # that is smallest that you can divide both numbers by, in an equation and get a whole number.
for instance, 3•3 and 1•9 are the only ways to get 9, so, the factors are 1, 3, 9
let’s look for the LCF in 16 and 45. -
if we find the ways to get 16, we have:
1•16, 2•8, and 4•4
so, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
this is called FACTORING :)
the ways to get 45 are...
1•45, 3•15, and 5•9, so the FACTORS are
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, & 45.
- compare the factors of 16 & 45,
none of them are the same besides 1, and we know that dividing these numbers by 1 will not do anything.
because of this, we can not reduce 16/45, so the reduced answer to 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45
Answers:
- Pizza Uno = $5.25
- Pizza Duo = $5.60
Those are the costs for a whole small pizza.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let
- x = cost of whole small pizza from Pizza Uno
- y = cost of whole small pizza from Pizza Duo
x and y are some dollar amount, so they cannot be negative numbers. It also doesn't make sense to have them be 0 either. So we'll make them positive.
2/3 of x is equal to 3.50 as the first sentence mentions. This forms the equation (2/3)*x = 3.50
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 to isolate x
(2/3)*x = 3.50
(3/2)*(2/3)*x = (3/2)*3.50
x = 5.25
Pizza Uno charges $5.25 for a whole small pizza.
----------------------------
Pizza Duo charges $4.20 for 3/4 of a small pizza, meaning the equation we need to solve is
(3/4)y = 4.20
We'll use the same idea as the last equation to get...
(3/4)y = 4.20
(4/3)*(3/4)y = (4/3)*4.20
y = 5.60
Pizza Duo charges $5.60 for a whole small pizza.
Pizza Uno is the better deal (assuming both pizzas taste the same or you don't have a preference for either). You would save $5.60 - $5.25 = $0.35 = 35 cents.
Answer:
36⁄125 or if we are talking about the lowest term it is 9
/3125
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: 0.288 = 288⁄1000
Step 2: Simplify 288⁄1000 = 36⁄125 Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",
<em>Or for the lowest term:</em>
Therefore 0.288% can be written as
0.288
100
.
Next, we can multiply by
1
in the form of
1000
1000
to eliminate the decimal in the numerator:
1000
1000

.
We can now reduce the fraction as:
288
100000
⇒

3125
⇒

Answer:
6 + 3d
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can translate from English words to mathematical operations:
– Product: the result of multiplication
– Sum: the result of addition
So, we can rephrase the original sentence as “the result of adding 6 and (the result of multiplying 3 and d)”
When we multiply a constant like 3 by a variable like d, we usually write the two next to each other, which would be “3d” in this case. We can replace that last sentence in symbols with 6 + 3d
