Question

hi will you guys help me with this please this is the exercises and i can figured out what to do 5/10 = / 4/16

Answer 1

i think it has something to do with having the same common denometer?

Answer 2

did that help you?

Answer 3

alright chris first you are looking for a fraction... let's name this fraction X

Answer 4

whenever you are trying to find an answer name it a variable this will help you solve the problem

Answer 5

so you'll get

\[\frac{5}{10}=\frac{x}{\frac{4}{16}}\]

Answer 6

so far do you understand?

Answer 7

chris?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

alright so do you know how to simplify the right side?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

alright so what would you do

Answer 12

to get rid of the fraction in the denominator

Answer 13

so the simplify fraction is 1/2

Answer 14

\[\frac{x}{\frac{4}{16}}=\frac{x}{1}*\frac{16}{4}\]

Answer 15

do you know this property?

Answer 16

i dont get it for real not really this was never explained to me really thank you dude

Answer 17

the division of a numerator and a fraction denominator is the same as the multiplication of it's reciprocal denominator

Answer 18

so say you have something like\[\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a}{b}*\frac{d}{c}\]

Answer 19

make sense?

Answer 20

yes i do get that but in this case i have to find the fraction that divided by 4/16 will be equal to 5/10 is not lkike find the answer i do know how to divided a fraction but this is kind of tricki

Answer 21

in this case x is not a fraction but you can make it a fraction by putting it over a one

\[\frac{x}{1}=x\]

Answer 22

well we haven't finishd yet haha i gurantee that we will find the answer

Answer 23

ok

Answer 24

\[\frac{5}{10}=\frac{16x}{4}\]

Answer 25

all i did was multiply the right side out . See?

Answer 26

you multipy by 1

Answer 27

So i used that rule to get rid of the fraction in the denominator

\[\frac{5}{10}=\frac{\frac{x}{1}}{\frac{4}{16}}=\frac{x}{1}*\frac{16}{4}=\frac{16x}{4}\]

Answer 28

alright?

Answer 29

or do you still not understand how that property works?

Answer 30

and yes it is known as multiplying by one

Answer 31

yes but in the exercises my teacher wrote like this 5/10= / 4/16
