Question

how should I solve f(15) = 1/3 (15) - 2?

Answer 1

you divide and subtract

Answer 2

How do I solve it with the fraction though?

Answer 3

fraction just means to divide it

Answer 4

(1/3)15 = 5

Answer 5

The answer would be 3 (: Plugged it in to my calculator.

Answer 6

The fraction doesn't represent a division sign though... unless I'm missing something

Answer 7

f(15) = 1/3 (15) - 2

f(15) = (1/3)* (15/1) - 2

f(15) = (1*15)/(3*1) - 2

f(15) = (15)/(3) - 2

f(15) = 5 - 2

f(15) = 3

Answer 8

it is just defined that way.
you'll have to take it as a division

Answer 9

Okay. Even if it's 1 over 3? (Just to clarify.)

Answer 10

if you go deep, 1/3 will be 3's inverse for product

Answer 11

fractions are a division of two numbers

ex: 2 divided by 3 = the fraction 2/3

Answer 12

i don't know your knowledge background so i will stop.
anyways 4*(1/2) means divide 4 by 2
15*(1/3) means divide 15 by 3

Answer 13

this works only for the ones that look like 1/a

Answer 14

I understand that, written on on my assessment it's written as a fraction. I understand that I wrote it as division, I didn't no any other way to do it.

Answer 15

It's written as 1
