Let's say you have 1/2 and 4/8

1.) Simplifying
Divide 4/8 by 4 to the numerator and denominator. You should get 1/2 which is equivalent to 1/2

2.) Cross multiplying
Cross multiply 1/2 x 4/8 (you multiply the numerator to the other fraction's denominator).
You should get 1 x 8 = 2 x 4
This simplified is 8 = 8 which is true.

Therefore the two fractions are equivalent. Hope this helps! :)

Answer from: BackUpAccount

Forming equivalent fractions
1. "x is multiplying
4
--   > 2 (multiplicand)
8

        (4x2) = 8
        (8x2) = 16
                     4      2          8
                     -- x --    =   --
                     8      2         16

Any given fraction has an infinite number of equivalent fractions. You can multiply the numerator and denominator by any whole number, no matter how large or small to obtain an equivalent fraction.

2. "/ means divide
4
--   > 2 (divisor)
8

        (4/2) = 2
        (8/2) = 4
                     4      2          2
                     -- / --    =   --
                     8      2         4
Like multiplication, division can also be used to find a new fraction that's equivalent to your starting fraction. Simply divide the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number to obtain an equivalent fraction. There is one caveat to this process--the resulting fraction must have whole numbers in both the numerator and denominator to be valid.

Will give brainliest answer the following questions. tom worker pays $1,200 annually for $90,000 wor

Answer from: Quest

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
