Question

I am lost on this how do you figure out this equation in inches: (6 7/8)x (7 3/4)(21 3/5)
------- = -------------
6 7/8 6 7/8

Answer 1

you might want try retyping this....

Answer 2

(6 7/8)x = (7 3/4)(21 3/5)
------- -------------
6 7/8 6 7/8

Answer 3

Here is the answer x~ 24 2/5 inches (The answer was to be simplify. Round to the nearest 1/5 inch) I have know clue how they come up 24 2/5 inches

Answer 4

since the denominator are the same, they cancel, so you're left with
(6 7/8)x = (7 3/4)(21 3/5)
change everything to improper
(55/8)x = (31/4)(108/5) check my calculation
(55/8)x = 837/5
x = (837/5)*(8/55)
x = 6696/275
....definitely check my calculations..

Answer 5

oh wait you gave me the answer
yeah
x = 6696/275 ~ 24.3490

Answer 6

Where does the 837/5 come from?

Answer 7

\[\frac{31}{4} * \frac{108}{5} = \frac{837}{5}\]
look at the link above it

Answer 8

Then how do you figure this out: Suppose to round to the whole centimeter
(6 7/8)y = ( 7 3/4)(58)
------- ---------
6 7/8 6 7/8

Answer 9

The answer is 62 centimeters

Answer 10

I figure that one out but how would you do this one
(7 1/4) y = (7 1/8)58)
------- ---------
7 1/4 7 1/4

Answer 11

(7 1/4) y = (7 1/8)(58)
(7 1/4) y = (413 1/4)
y = 57

Answer 12

I hate to be stupid but how did you get 57?

Answer 13

(7 1/4) y = (7 1/8)(58)
^----^--- multiply together, you will get 413 1/4
(7 1/4) y = (413 1/4)

y = (413 1/4) / (7 1/4)
y = 413 / 7
y = 59 <-- correction, i meant to type 59 i'm sorry
