@Michele_Laino r u there?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

As I wrote before, I think the second option, because: \[\frac{ 57 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 19 }{ 1 }\]

what do you think @Michele_Laino?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think the second option, because, you have to calculate: \[\frac{ \frac{ 1 }{ 12 } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } }=...\] please continue

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please the first fraction multiply the inverse of the second fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then multiply 1/12 over 1/4 * 1/4 over 1/12?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops sorry ...multiplies...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then i was right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 12 }*\frac{ 4 }{ 1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 4/12

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

better is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 12 }*4\] so the second option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thx :D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
