Answer 10

Thanks

Answer 11

sure

Answer 12

To be able to answer this, you need to know how to find Area. This picture might help. Also, i think that your question may be missing something. Did it also have a picture of a triangle that you had to look at to solve?

Answer 13

Oh, I see. Good. Do you know how to start out?

Answer 14

dont you have to turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions?

Answer 15

Can you do that on your calculator?

Answer 16

no i dont think i can do that on my calculator

Answer 17

Thats one way of doing it. Do you prefer that? It would make inputting the fractions easier. Good thing you caught that.

Answer 18

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, follow these steps:

Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Write down the whole number answer.
Then write down any remainder above the denominator.

Answer 19

yes i pefer to change them into improper fractions

Answer 20

can you do that and tell me what you get for each? Start with 8 1/3

Answer 21

25/3

Answer 22

Good. Now do the other :)

Answer 23

17/4

Answer 24

Great! Now multiply them. :) Do you know how to multiply fraction?

Answer 25

just mutiply straght across right?

Answer 26

*stright

Answer 27

Sort of. This may help:

Multiply the numerators together.
Multiply the denominators together.
Simplify the fraction.
Convert the improper fraction (if it is improper) to a mixed fraction answer. To do this divide the denominator into the numerator finding the quotient and remainder.

Answer 28

thx

Answer 29

425/12

Answer 30

25x17=425
3x4=12

You get 425/12 now you have to simplify. If you do, what do you get?

Answer 31

this is where i got stuck

Answer 32

cause i dont think they both can be divided by the same number

Answer 33

See this picture. It explains it to you. :)

Answer 34

You are correct, they can't be divided by the same number, because they are as simplified as they can get!

Answer 35

This was only multiplying the Base and Height. Now you have to divide 35 5/12 by 2. Do you think you can do it on your own?

Answer 36

oh i forgot about the divideing

Answer 37

yes i think so

Answer 38

Okay. Let me know what you get, and if you need help. I can wait a bit if you'd like. :)

Answer 39

ok thanks

Answer 40

i cant think of any thing 5 and 12 can be divided by. also am i supposed to divide the whole number?

Answer 41

To divide the mixed number by two, you have to:

Change each mixed number to an improper fraction. (Which means we're back to 425/12)
Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor, simplifying if possible.
Put answer in lowest terms.
Check to be sure the answer makes sense.

Answer 42

ok im confused how do i mutiply the reciprocal by the divisor?

Answer 43

i'm sorry, I have an emergency going on in my house now, I got to go. Sorry that I can't walk you through further. Leave a medal if you thought this was helpful. Also, if you don't know how to do something, google the definition and the steps to do it. :) Bye!
