Clipping is a linguistic phenomenon where a longer word is shortened to create a more concise form. Examples include: "ad" from advertisement, "fax" from facsimile, "gym" from gymnasium, "lab" from laboratory, "math" from mathematics, "mike" from microphone, "photo" from photograph, "prep" from preparation, "vet" from veterinarian, "bio" from biography, "flu" from influenza, "info" from information, "sub" from substitute, "phone" from telephone, and "doc" from doctor. These clipped forms are often used in casual conversation.

When you multiply two prime numbers you always get answer with prime number?

No. If you multiply any numbers, those numbers are factors of whatever product you get. Therefore, this product is a composite number; it has atleast the two factors you multiplyed before. Compposite numbers are never prime. If the two factors above were prime, you would still end up with a composite number. For example: 3 times 5 equals 15. The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15. 15 is composite. 7 time 51 equals 357. The factors of 357 are 1, 7, 51, and 357. 357 is composite.


What factor is paired with 15 to give 45?

3


How do you rewrite each sum as a product of the GCF of the addends and another number for example 15 45?

(15 x 1) + (15 x 3) = 15 x 4 = 60


What does it mean for a number to be divisible by another number?

That means that if you perform a division sum with the number and its factor, the result would be an integer. For example, 15 is divisible by 1, 3, 5 and 15. 15/3 = 5, 15/5 = 3.


Is -0.15 a rational number?

Yes, because you can express it as a ratio of two integers, for example, -15 / 100. This can be simplified, but that's not necessary to prove it is rational.Yes, because you can express it as a ratio of two integers, for example, -15 / 100.
