Simplify \( \frac{20}{52} \).
| \( \frac{5}{13} \) | |
| \( \frac{7}{17} \) | |
| \( \frac{6}{17} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{3} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{20}{52} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{52}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{13} \)
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?
| 65 miles | |
| 90 miles | |
| 120 miles | |
| 420 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 65mph \times 1h \)
65 miles

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{9 x 5}{6 x 5} \) - \( \frac{5 x 3}{10 x 3} \)
\( \frac{45}{30} \) - \( \frac{15}{30} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{45 - 15}{30} \) = \( \frac{30}{30} \) = 1
Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?
