find an equivalent equation with the given denominator
7/b= ?/b squared
the expression that is equivalent to 7/b is ?
if b is squared wouldn't the 7 also have to be squared to be equivalent?
7/b = 49/b squared? Am I correct? Thanks
No, 7/b= 7b/b^2
To find an equivalent equation with the given denominator, which is b squared, we need to adjust the numerator accordingly.
Since the expression 7/b has a denominator of b, to make it have a denominator of b squared, we need to multiply the numerator by b. This is because when you multiply a fraction's numerator and denominator by the same value, its value does not change.
So, the expression equivalent to 7/b, with a denominator of b squared, is (7 * b) / b squared.
However, we need to simplify this expression further. Cancel out the common factor of b in the numerator and denominator:
(7 * b) / b squared = 7 / b
Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to 7/b, with a denominator of b squared, is 7 / b.
In summary, the correct equivalent equation is 7 / b.
