Powered by AILet the unknown rational number be y. Then (5/3) × y = (–10/21). To isolate y, divide both sides by (5/3), yielding y = (–10/21) ÷ (5/3) = (–10/21) × (3/5) = –30/105, which simplifies to –2/7. This illustrates understanding of solving equations and simplifying fractions .
Simplify both fractions: (–6/8) simplifies by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2, giving (–3/4). Similarly, (9/–12) simplifies by dividing by 3, resulting in (–3/4). Both fractions reduce to (–3/4), proving their equivalency through simplification .
First, simplify the expression ((5/6) – (2/3) + (1/2)). Convert all to a common denominator, 6: 2/3 = 4/6, 1/2 = 3/6, thus, (5/6) - (4/6) + (3/6) = (4/6). Divide (4/6) by (7/12) by multiplying by the reciprocal: (4/6) × (12/7) = 48/42 = 8/7. This requires understanding of fraction operations and simplification .
Calculate (1/x) + x by determining the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3. Thus, (1/x) + x = 4/3 + 3/4. Find a common denominator, which is 12, so (4/3) = 16/12 and (3/4) = 9/12. Adding them gives (16/12) + (9/12) = 25/12. This calculation involves understanding of reciprocal values and fraction addition .
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, where the denominator q is not zero. This differentiates irrational numbers, which cannot be expressed as such fractions. Examples of rational numbers include 3/5 and -8/6. These examples reflect that rational numbers include both fractions and negative numbers .
To find three rational numbers whose sum is zero, consider both positive and negative values that cancel each other. One example is (1/3), (1/3), and (–2/3). Their sum, (1/3) + (1/3) – (2/3), simplifies to (2/3) – (2/3) = 0. This problem involves recognizing and applying additive inverses .
To verify the distributive property for rational numbers, compute both sides. The left side equals (1/2) × ((–4/3) + (5/6)) = (1/2) × (–2/6 + 5/6) = (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/4. The right side (1/2) × (–4/3) + (1/2) × (5/6) equals (–4/6) × (1/2) + (5/6) × (1/2) = –2/12 + 5/12 = 3/12 = 1/4, which shows the equality holds .
Calculate by first adding the numbers: (1/2) = 3/6, (–2/3) = –4/6, (3/4) = 9/12 = 18/24, (5/6) = 20/24. Add to find: (3/6) + (–4/6) + (18/24) + (20/24) with common denominators: –1/6 + 38/24 = –4/24 + 38/24 = 34/24 = 17/12. Divide by 4: 17/48. The average is 17/48 .
Yes, the sum of two positive rational numbers is always positive. Rational numbers are expressed as fractions with valid integer numerators and positive integer denominators. For example, (1/2) + (1/3) = (3/6) + (2/6) = 5/6, which is positive. This demonstrates that adding positive values yields a positive result .
To solve for x, first eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator. Multiply the entire equation by 12: (12) × (2x/3) – (12) × (1/4) = (12) × (5/12). This becomes 8x – 3 = 5. Solve for x by adding 3 to both sides and dividing by 8: 8x = 8, so x = 1. Understanding equivalent equations and basic algebra is key .
