Makes sense, can you divide 5 by 7?

The calculator you are using will keep rounding it off.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
Divide the amount of rose bushes (7) by how many gallons of water she has (5).
\[\frac{ 7 }{ 5 } = \]

Yes I am. This is what I said: Divide the amount of rose bushes (7) by how many gallons of water she has (5).
OpenStudy (anaise):
I am already peeved
*rage quits*
Your answer is 1 3/4
OpenStudy (anaise):
Oh
OpenStudy (anaise):
Nvm, I thought it was a 4
OpenStudy (anaise):
It would be 1 and 2/5
Tell me I'm wrong.

thx @KendrickLamar2014
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
It would, but u need to simplify the answer
OpenStudy (anaise):
What the hell
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
\[1 \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 7 }{ 5 } = 1.4\]
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
The answer would be 1.4 gallons

OpenStudy (anaise):

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
@DAVPAS1 does the answer have to be a fraction or a decimal?

OpenStudy (anaise):
I WAS RIGHT
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Simplified version, you gave ken the medal, which is wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
How did you get \[1 \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\]

7/5 simplified
OpenStudy (anaise):
I did exactly what you did, just
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
Yes they are the same, but I want to know what she did to get that.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well to get 1 2/5 it is = 7/5
OpenStudy (anaise):
I learn a different way excuse me, but
I subtracted 5 from 7, made that the whole and put the different as my numerator

Well what I did was: Divide the amount of rose bushes (7) by how many gallons of water she has (5).
Which gave me \[\frac{ 7 }{ 5 }\]
