Question

2x 3/8

Answer 1

i got 480/80

Answer 2

Is this \[2 \times \frac{3}{8}\]?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

helooooooooo

Answer 5

1

Answer 6

you have to multiply only the numerator by the three

Answer 7

oops i meant two

Answer 8

Just remember that fractions are really the amount on top (numerator) divided by the amount on bottom (denominator).

One way to look at it is to turn the fraction \[\frac{3}{8}\] into\[3\div8\], so you have \[2\times3\div8\]Then solve the multiplications and divisions separately\[(2\times3)\div(8)=(6)\div(8)\]and then make it look like a fraction again:\[\frac{6}{8}\]. That can be simplified, though.

Or, look at the "2" like this:\[\frac{2}{1}\], and multiply numerators together and denominators together. It's the same thing. Then\[\frac{2}{1}\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{2*3}{1*8}=\frac{6}{8}\].

Answer 9

Those are two ways to think about multiplying fractions!

Answer 10

Sorry I took so long!

Answer 11

ok thanks

Answer 12

can u help me in one more

Answer 13

Can you simplify it? Divide top and bottom by 2!
Some teachers require simplification...

Answer 14

Possibly! I have to go soon! You post it, and I'll see if I can help!

Answer 15

1 1/2 divided by 3

Answer 16

If it's very similar, I hope that you can do it on your own, or we can do it together!

Answer 17

So,\[1\frac{1}{2}\div3\]

Answer 18

i got 1 2/20

Answer 19

That is different!

Answer 20

That's not quite right, but we'll get there!
\[1\frac{1}{2}=1+\frac{1}{2}\], right?

Answer 21

yeah

Answer 22

and 1, as a fraction, is any number over itself, like\[1=\frac{2}{2}\]right?
Then you can look at \[1+\frac{1}{2}\]like\[\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\]

Answer 23

\[1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\]

Answer 24

thanks men

Answer 25

\[=3\div2\]

Answer 26

That's just the fraction...
You still have to divide by 3.

Answer 27

1.5

Answer 28

\[\frac{3}{2}=3\div2\]
I did that again.. Similar to what we did before! Fraction to division... Really the same thing.

Anyway,
\[1\frac{1}{2}\div3=\frac{3}{2}\div3=3\div2\div3=3\div3\div2=1\div2\]
See what I did there? And, if you need the fraction, I trust you can find it!

Answer 29

It's just lucky that \[3\div3=1\], because it made our problem easier! :)

Answer 30

Eric if you want I'll take over from here if you have to go..

Answer 31

Thanks! I trust you can help with this question and any others! :) I do have to get going. Take care, all!
