(3x + 2) ( x-2) Simplify expressions? 2/3 x 1/8 ? or 3 3/4 divided by 1 1/2 how do u simplify?

Answers

(3x + 2) ( x - 2) = 0
3x (x-2) + 2(x - 2)  *distributive property of multiplication
3x² - 6x + 2x - 4
3x² - 4x - 4 = 0

2/3 * 1/8 = 2*1 / 3*8 = 2/24 :
2/24 can be simplified into 1/12.

3 3/4 ÷ 1 1/2

convert mixed fractions to fractions.
3 3/4 = (3*4+3)/4 = 15/4
1 1/2 = (1*2+1)/2 = 3/2

15/4 ÷ 3/2 ⇒ 15/4 * 2/3 = 15*2 / 4*3 = 30/12
30/12 can be simplified to 10/4
30 divide by 3 to get 10. 12 divide by 3 to get 4.
10/4 can be simplified to 5/2
10 divide by 2 to get 5. 4 divide by 2 to get 2.
5/2 can be a mixed fraction of 2 1/2.

I-Ready How tall is Leon ?

Answers

Answer:

4 5/12 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4  becomes 9/12

1/3 becomes 4/12

9 - 4 = 5

5/12

5 5/12

Answer:

1 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract fractions, we must find a Common Denominator for the two fractions.

We can find a common denominator simply by multiplying the denominators by eachother.

4*3=12

3*4=12

Now we also have to multiply the numerator by what the denominator was multiplied by, so everything is equal.

3*3=9 so 9/12

1*4=4 so 4/12.

If Leons brother is 4 and 9/12 tall, we can multiply the denominator by the whole number and add it to the numerator to get an improper fraction. This makes it possible to subtract.

4*12=48 and dont forget to add the extra 9! Leons brother is 57/12 tall. Now just subtract.

57/12-4/12=53/12 or 4 and 5/12.

Leon is 4 and 5/12 tall.

Hope this helps!
