Okay so is that the fraction 3/4 or 3 divided by 4?
OpenStudy (crazyelephant):
3/ 4
OpenStudy (pinkcandyrosez882):
Okay. So, to make a whole number like 8 a fraction, you put a 1 under it like this: 8/1. So after that the problem should look like this: 3/4 x 8/1

OpenStudy (like1234):
then u divide 10/8
OpenStudy (pinkcandyrosez882):
I think it's a division because there's another "/" in there sorry
OpenStudy (like1234):
oh
OpenStudy (pinkcandyrosez882):
So I would think the one with the reciprocal in it would be the one idk what do you think? sorry
OpenStudy (like1234):
woops didnt see that

It's okay as you saw I pretty much made up a number with the first problem
OpenStudy (like1234):
um ok so you divide 2/3 ÷ 5/6
OpenStudy (crazyelephant):
yes
OpenStudy (like1234):
which equals 12/15
OpenStudy (pinkcandyrosez882):
The reciprocal (the second fraction then flipped over) is 6/5 right?

?
OpenStudy (like1234):
i think u just start solving the options they gave 2 find the one that equals that answer
OpenStudy (like1234):
maybe im wrong
OpenStudy (pinkcandyrosez882):
When you do a division problem with fractions, you first should flip the second number and then multiply. (It's required basically) But yeah @like1234 that sounds okay
OpenStudy (like1234):
ok

Or something like that
OpenStudy (like1234):
so a equals 10/18 witch does not mach with our answer
OpenStudy (like1234):
b equals 10/18
OpenStudy (pinkcandyrosez882):
I think D is it what do you guys think? (D is basically a step in the division problem anyway and it has the reciprocal)
OpenStudy (like1234):
ya d is the correct answer
