Answer 2

Let's cross multiply, then divide

When doing so, you wanna keep it consistent

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3.785 } = \frac{ x }{ 25 }\]

Answer 3

I've literally already helped you...

Answer 4

@FortyTheRapper I've already taught her that, the only thing she is having trouble with is dividing the 25 and 3.785

Answer 5

Calculators are handy also, then

Answer 6

She was using one, but she kept dividing it wrong.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Hmm

Let's form the cross in "cross" multipying. Make a cross and connect the dots to get

\[(25)(1) = (3.785)(x)\]

Now if we divide both sides by 3.785, we can cancel out what's on the right because those are the same number, yes?

If we also divided the left by 3.785, the top number is he first number you put into the calculator

Answer 9
