Question

Hi i need help here please

Answer 1

Answer: 55/77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be some number such that it is not zero.

The fraction (5x)/(7x) reduces to 5/7.

The numerator and denominator of (5x)/(7x) add to 5x+7x = 12x

Set this equal to 132 and solve for x

12x = 132

x = 132/12

x = 11

Therefore,

(5x)/(7x) = (5*11)/(7*11) = 55/77

So we can see that

55+77 = 132

To reduce 55/77, we would divide both parts by the GCF 11, which was the value of x found earlier.

Answer 2

55/77

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the numbers in the given fraction is 5+7=12. The sum 132 is 11 times that value. Multiplying 5/7 by (11/11) will give the fraction you want:

(5/7)×(11/11) = 55/77 = 5/7
