Question

i really need help with this math problem

Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

Hello, are you able to set it up?

Answer 3

We have to evaluate \[\frac{ x }{ y }\] and are given \[x = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 },~~ \text{and}~~ y =\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }\]

Answer 4

So give me your best attempt at setting it up and we will go from there :)

Answer 5

well im not good with this one so >>.

Answer 6

That's alright, just give it a try, don't be afraid to mess up, I don't judge, I'm here to help!

Answer 7

Can you do \(x\cdot y\)?

Answer 8

Can you find \(1/y\)?

Answer 9

y=9x over 7 :< idk

Answer 10

does anyone know the answer ??

Answer 11

i wish i knew it .:0

Answer 12

Not quite, all you really have to do is plug x where x is in the equation x/y and do the same thing for y.
So, \[\huge \frac{ x }{ y } \implies \frac{ \left( \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \right) }{ \left( \frac{ 6 }{ 7 } \right)}\]

Answer 13

Don't worry about the answer right now, try understanding the process and what it's asking.

Answer 14

okay :) so i need to ..

Answer 15

So, when you first learn about fractions, do you remember what they tell you when you want to divide them?

Answer 16

yes :)

Answer 17

Alright, so what do they tell you? :)

Answer 18

well don't you have to divide both ,..... right

Answer 19

they tell you about pies and cakes to increase your appetite

Answer 20

well now i know its either A OR B correct ?

Answer 21

^ lol, but I was looking for, when you divide fractions, you flip it and multiply, so \[\huge \frac{ x }{ y } \implies \frac{ \left( \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \right) }{ \left( \frac{ 6 }{ 7 } \right)} \implies \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \times \frac{ 7 }{ 6 }\]

Answer 22

Are you able to finish it off?

Answer 23

flip the second fraction*

Answer 24

im really slow in math

Answer 25

after that they feed you the poison : divding two complex fractions is same as multiplying the first fraction and reciprocal of second fraction

Answer 26

so i think i got it . its B yea , nO?

Answer 27

It's ok if you're "slow" at math, it requires practice and the first step is to attempt the problem.

How did you get B?

Answer 28

well when i multiply the fractions it = 4 over 7 so thats just a bad guess

Answer 29

thats a very good wrong guess, you just forgot flipping the second fraction

Answer 30

\[\huge \frac{ x }{ y } \implies \frac{ \left( \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \right) }{ \left( \frac{ 6 }{ 7 } \right)} \implies \color{red}{\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \times \frac{ 7 }{ 6 }} \]

Answer 31

can you work that multiplication ?
to multiply two fractions, you just multiply numerators and denominators separately

Answer 32

\[\large \dfrac{a}{b}\times \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a\times c}{b\times d}\]

Answer 33

okay step by step first thing . i want to get this question right :)

Answer 34

@NicholausBlackmon

Answer 35

\[\huge \begin{align} \frac{ x }{ y } \implies \frac{ \left( \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \right) }{ \left( \frac{ 6 }{ 7 } \right)} &\implies \color{red}{\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } \times \frac{ 7 }{ 6 }}\\~\\~\\
&\implies \color{red}{\dfrac{2\times 7}{3\times 6}}

\end{align}\]

Answer 36

now it is your regular fraction, see if you can finish it

Answer 37

cross multiply?

Answer 38

14/18 which equals what

Answer 39

Its A

Answer 40

7/9

Answer 41

14/18=7/9

Answer 42

@ganeshie8 okay i got it lol its A

Answer 43

Yes, that's right.
