I need help quick. What is the quotient of three and one over five divided by seven over ten in simplest form? three and two over seven three and seven over fifty four and two over five four and four over seven
Wait all of those together are being divided?
What do you mean by 3 and 1? 31?
please use equation instead of words. hard to analyze ..
\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\]
okay
ahh.. much better
If I were you I would change that Mixed Number into an improper fraction
So can you tell me what \[3\frac{ 1 }{ 5}\] is as an improper fraction?
no?
Multiply 3 by 5 and add 1 to get the numerator.
16
Don't forget to include the denominator.
Yep so its 16/5
as an improper fraction.
\[\frac{ 16 }{ 5}\]*\[\frac{ 10 }{ 7}\]
you will make the \[3\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\] in a improper fraction then switch the numerator of the second fraction then multiply it
When dividing I like to flip the second fraction (Known as the reciprical)
This way you can multiply
correction: reciprocal
16/5 * 10/7 = ?
Multiply Numerators and then Multiply the denominators
160 35
What @MathLegend says is correct. \[\frac{ 16 }{ 5 } \times \frac{ 10 }{ 7 } = \frac{ 160 }{ 35 }\]
Good
Can you simplify on your own now?
instead of using \[\frac{ 16 }{ 5 }\] times \[\frac{ 10 }{ 7 }\] = \[\frac{ 160 }{ 35 }\] .. use the cross multiplication for easy answering.. it will help you ..
It is the same thing... doesn't matter.
