Answer:
1. (a. 8 b. 3 d. 6,6,12 e. 3,3,9) 2. (a. 2,3 b. 4,5 c. 6,6,2,3 d. 5,3,5) 3. (a.2/3 b.1/3 c.2/3 f.1/2 g.7/8 h.4/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
OK this is quite simple. Just multiply the top and bottom, otherwise known as the numerators and denominators, by whatever is next to it. In this case, 1a is [tex]\frac{2*4}{5*4}[/tex].
That would result in [tex]\frac{8}{20}[/tex]
Hey there!
In order to multiply fractions, we should multiply the numerator of the 1st fraction by the numerator of the 2nd fraction.
Same with denominators.
Let's multiply these fractions.
2/5=2*4/5*4=8/20
2/3=2*6/3*6=12/18
1/4=1*3/4*3=3/12
3/4=3*3/4*3=9/12
now divide:
10/15=10:5/15:5=2/3
12/18=12:6/18:6=2/3
12/15=12:3/15:3=4/5
15/25=15:5/25:5=3/5
Now, simplify the following fractions:
4/6
divide the top & bottom by 2:
2/3
next:
5/10
divide the top & bottom by 5:
1/2
next
5/15
divide the top & bottom by 5:
1/3
next:
12/18
divide the top & bottom. by 6
2/3
next
5/10
divide the top & bottom by 5
1/2
next
14/16
divide the top & bottom by 2
7/8
and then last but not least
28/35
divide the top & bottom by 7
4/5
And we're done!
Hope everything is clear.
