Question

Find the product: 1/2 times 3/7 how to find the product?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 3 }{ 7 } = \frac{ 3 }{ ? }\]
Can you figure it out?

Answer 2

14 but do i have to simplify the 7 first?

Answer 3

No, you just multiply all the way across. So your answers should be:
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 14 }\]
And this is already in the simplest form, so this should be your final answer. I hope this helped :o)

Answer 4

thanks other question but this one u divide 3/5 divided 2/10 = 3/5 ???

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 5 } / \frac{ 2 }{ 10 }\]

Okay, so for this one we need a common denominator which can be 10. So, we're going to multiple 3/2 by 2/2 and 2/10 we'll leave alone.
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }*\frac{ 2 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 6 }{ 10 }\]
\[\frac{ 6 }{ 10 }\div \frac{ 2 }{ 10 }\]
Now we're just going to divide. So 6/2= 3 and 10/10=1

So,
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 1 } = 3\]
:o)

Answer 6

oh had to find a common denominator o get now last question also dividing... 3/4 divide 4/5 have to find the write quotient in simplest form. so is it.... 6/5??

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\div \frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\]\[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }*\frac{ 5 }{ 4 } =\frac{ 15 }{ 16 }\]

I forgot about this. When you divide by a fraction, you take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply. :o)

Answer 8

for dividing fraction theres a little chant: dividing by fractions is as easy as pie, just flip the second and multiply so for the first one (3/5)/ (2/10) u flip 2/10 and get 10/2 then u multiply (3/5) * (10/2) and get 30/10 which is 3

Answer 9

i like your riddle i rote it down @ bronco101 and for butterfly16 can u remind me what a reciprocal is?

Answer 10

Of course, a reciprocal is basically the opposite of a fraction. The numbers basically switch. Heres a few examples:
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\rightarrow \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\]\[\frac{ 12 }{ 20 }\rightarrow \frac{ 20 }{ 12 }\]

Do you remember? :o)
