Question

What is one half OF five sixths?

Answer 1

\[\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{1}{2}}*\frac{\frac{2}{1}}{\frac{2}{1}}=\frac{\frac{10}{6}}{\frac{2}{2}}=\frac{10}{6}\]

Answer 2

So , basically , the answer is ten sixths

Answer 3

basically yes; but you might want to reduce it for proper form ...

Answer 4

Okay so then it would be one and two thirds.
Right?

Answer 5

5/3 = 1' 2/3 yes

Answer 6

THANKS!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Now check this one I did

Answer 8

one fourth of one half is = one eight. or 0.125

Answer 9

Right?

Answer 10

hmm, now that i think of it .... i might have had a misguided thought.

1/2
---- = 1/8 yes
4


so the first one was thought of wrong ...

5/6
--- = 5/12
2

Answer 11

its tough getting old :)

Answer 12

Wait what?

Answer 13

So the first one is 2 ?

Answer 14

What is one half OF five sixths? would have been better if I read it as:

What is half OF five sixths

\[\frac{5/6}{2}=\frac{5}{6*2}=5/12\]

Answer 15

Okay guide me through the next one
two thirds of one fourth ?

Answer 16

I think that as a decimal its .166 continuing
but anyways I need to know the fraction

Answer 17

\[2(\frac{1/4}{3})=2(\frac{1}{4*3})=\frac{2}{12}=1/6\]

Answer 18

Thanks!!!!!

Answer 19

yep

Answer 20

WAIT !!!!!

Answer 21

Will you help me with just one last problem
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 22

is it an interesting problem?

Answer 23

Well , it all depends on what you think.

Answer 24

PLEASE just help me
Okay so the problem says: you start with a number. Double it. Square the answer. You get 1,296. What number did you start with?

Answer 25

start with a number "n"

double it: 2n

square it: (2n)^2

that equals: (2n)^2 = 1296

what is n?

Answer 26

Dont know?

Answer 27

what would undo a "^2" ? any guesses?

Answer 28

if; 2*2 = 2^2 = 4; and sqrt(4) = sqrt(2*2) = 2 ....

Answer 29

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 30

no, that was an example to get you to consider a strategy on your own ....

Answer 31

O

Answer 32

No but for the example that you showed the answer is 2.
Right?

Answer 33

lol, the answer is: a sqrt(..) undoes a ^2; and a ^2 undoes a sqrt(...)

3^2 = 9 ; sqrt(9) = sqrt(3^2) = 3

Answer 34

What u r so confusing .

Answer 35

we have to solve for "n", and im assuming youve been thru these techniques prior to this

(2n)^2 = 1296

sqrt((2n)^2) = sqrt(1296)

2n = sqrt(1296)


quite frankly, its better if you come to this on your own ... helps to build a math repitiore

Answer 36

What is n

Answer 37

n is the number we are looking for
