Question 326720: Hello, I found out that a fraction of : (7x+1)/(x+1)(x-2) simplifies as follows :
2/(x+1) + 5/(x-2)
Could you please guide me as to how I can simplify similar fractions? Is it based solely on experience or is there some kind of methodology? I would be really grateful if you'd help me on this!
Sincerely yours,
Kollias Panos

Question 327196: If 1/3 of a number is less than 24, then the number must be
a) less than 8
b) less than 48
c) more than 72
d) less than 72
e) more than 24
I believe the answer to be less than 72, but I am not sure why because a) and b) seem to fit. Can you show me how d) is not the right answer.
Thank you

Question 328145: a. Separate the fractions 2/6, 2/5, 6/13, 1/25, 7/8, and 9/29 into two
categories: those that can be written as a terminating
decimal and those that cannot. Write an explanation
of how you made your decisions.
b. Form a conjecture about which fractions can be
expressed as terminating decimals.
c. Test your conjecture on the following fractions:6/12, 7/15, 28/140,
and 0/7
d. Use the ideas of equivalent fractions and common
multiples to verify your conjecture.
I thought that I had part A but then I did not understand B, C, and D. Please help me, thank you so much:)
