Question

please help me......

If 6/11 of k is 8/41, what is 3/11 of k?

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

lol i meant
\[\frac{3}{11}\]is half of
\[\frac{6}{11}\] right?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

so what is half of \[\frac{8}{41}\]?

Answer 5

but isn't that a whole different problem? i dont understand why we have to multiply that by 1/2

Answer 6

?

Answer 7

(6/11)k = (8/41)
solve for just k
and find (3/11) of k

Answer 8

u multiply 1/2 times 8/41 right?

Answer 9

yes that is one way to say it

Answer 10

i would say "take half of it" because it is pretty clear that half of eight is four

Answer 11

but why ?

Answer 12

y do you take half of 8/41?

Answer 13

no need to solve for \(k\)
just take half of \(\frac{8}{41}\)

Answer 14

ok lets to another simpler one

Answer 15

if
\[10\times x=50\] what is
\[5\times x\]?

Answer 16

5?

Answer 17

no

Answer 18

if \[10x=50\] then \[x=5\] but if
\[10x=50\] then
\[5x=25\]

Answer 19

that is because no matter what \(x\) is, \(5x\) is half of \(10x\)

Answer 20

o okay

Answer 21

since \(\frac{3}{11}\) is half of \(\frac{6}{11}\) that means
\[\frac{3}{11}k\] is half of
\[\frac{6}{11}k\]

Answer 22

you are told that
\[\frac{6}{11}k=\frac{8}{41}\] that makes
\[\frac{3}{11}k=\frac{4}{41}\] half of it

Answer 23

hmmmm..... i think i see now....
