Math help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dividing by a third is like multiplying be 3

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

to divide two fractions: switch the numerator and denominator on the SECOND fraction only, then multiply the two fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the help @chris00 , but @Vocaloid explains it easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahah no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks though :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 3/13 divided by 3/1

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

well, yeah, except the division sign changes to a multiplication sign after you flip the fraction

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(3/13)*(3/1) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I find the LCD right?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

nope, just multiply across

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

multiply the numerators, then multiply the denominators

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

you only need to worry about LCD when you're adding/subtracting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh ok and I got 9/13

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

great!

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

same rule applies for 17 and 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay It'll take a bit but not long :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for 17 I got 18/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I can simplify right?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yeah, both 18 and 24 are divisible by 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now with 18 I conert -9 to -9/1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convert*

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so it ends up being (-9/1)*(8/5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72/5

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

don't forget the negative sign -72/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah oops.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

that simplifies to -14 and 2/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, sorry I thought I made a mistake somewhere but nvm

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, ready to tackle the last two problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep Making the new thread now
