Question
Answer
The image contains three sections of math problems written in Khmer. I will solve each section step-by-step.
The sections are:
I. ស្វែងរកចំនួនក្នុងប្រអប់ (Find the number in the box) - This involves finding equivalent fractions.
II. សរុបប្រភាគខាងក្រោម (Simplify the following fractions) - This involves reducing fractions to their simplest form.
III. តតើសេង្ហត្ម x និង y ខាងក្រោម (Determine x and y in the following equations) - This involves solving proportions for variables and .
I. ស្វែងរកចំនួនក្នុងប្រអប់ (Find the number in the box)
We need to find the missing value () in each equivalent fraction.
ក.
To get from the denominator to , we multiply by (). Therefore, we must multiply the numerator by as well.
The missing number is .
ខ.
To get from the denominator to , we divide by (). Therefore, we must divide the numerator by .
The missing number is .
គ.
To get from the denominator to , we multiply by (). Therefore, we must multiply the numerator by .
The missing number is .
II. សរុបប្រភាគខាងក្រោម (Simplify the following fractions)
We need to simplify each fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD).
ក.
The GCD of and is .
ខ.
The GCD of and is .
គ.
We can find the GCD by successive division. Both are divisible by :
Now, both and are divisible by :
(Alternatively, the GCD of and is : , ).
ឃ.
Since ends in and ends in , both are divisible by .
Both and are divisible by :
(Alternatively, the GCD of and is : , ).
III. តតើសេង្ហត្ម x និង y ខាងក្រោម (Determine x and y in the following equations)
We need to solve for the unknown variables and using the property of equivalent fractions (cross-multiplication).
ក.
Cross-multiply:
Divide by :
ខ.
First, simplify the right side: .
So, the equation is:
Cross-multiply:
Divide by :
គ.
First, simplify the left side: .
So, the equation is:
Cross-multiply:
ឃ.
Cross-multiply:
Divide by :
Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by :
As a decimal: .
