Again help with Fractions please

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

yeah go ahead

OpenStudy (tester97):

When ever you are ready ^_^

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\div \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\div \frac{ 2 }{ 7 }\]

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Sorry I'm slow

OpenStudy (tester97):

Try to simply this again do you wanna do it or do you need me to?

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

mmm

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

1/2 and 1/7

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

?

OpenStudy (tester97):

Yup now flip the second and multiply

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

7/2

OpenStudy (tester97):

Eggsactly ^_^ See you are smart! You are doing this with no problem

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

But I need it in the other form

OpenStudy (tester97):

Make it a proper fraction then :) 7/2---> 3 1/2

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Oh

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

And how's that?

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

It is 1 5/9

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

But I don't know why

OpenStudy (tester97):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

No idea

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

The thing showed that

OpenStudy (tester97):

well the way i did it i got 7/2 as well

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

But where does the other thing came from

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

The 1 5/9

OpenStudy (tester97):

i dont even know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the problem is that you simplified before you slipped the fractions. \[{1\over3}\div {3\over4} \div{2\over7}\] \[{1\over3} \times {4\over3} \times{7\over2}\] \[28\over18\] \[1 {10\over18}\] \[1{5\over9}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

flipped*

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Ooooooooooh now I got it

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Thank you

OpenStudy (tester97):

Ohhhhhhh that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem. Glad to be a help. :)

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

and...

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

How would it be with 45/20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's your question? How would you turn 45/20 into a mixed number?

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, well how many times can 20 go into 45?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It will go into 45 two times right? 2 times 20 is 40, so now we have: \[2{{(45-40)}\over20}\] \[2{5\over20}\] And now we can reduve this by diving the top and bottom of the fraction by 5. \[2{1\over5}\] Does that make sense? I'm not really sure how to explain this lol. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whoops, it supposed to me \[2{1\over4}\] Sorry about that

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Oooooooooooh Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, great. :) See if you can do one now. How could you write 28/6 as a mixed number?

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Yes I think

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

4 4/6

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

4 1/3

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

no 4 2/3

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup you got it \[ 4 {2\over3}\] Good job. I gave you a medal. :)

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

weeeee thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No prob. Enjoy the studies.
