Answer 8

uh-huh

Answer 9

can you change 3 3/4 to an improper fraction?

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

do you know how to do this?

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

that's why i posted, lol

Answer 14

\[3\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\]

FIRST we multiply the whole number in this case 3

by the denominator

do this and tell me what you get

Answer 15

1 1/2

Answer 16

so the first thing we do is multiply the whole number which is 3 by the denominator which is 4 and we get 12

Answer 17

Then we add 12 to the numerator which is 3 and we get 15

\[\frac{ 15 }{ 4 } \]

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

we know that he used half of his milk for the recipe

Answer 20

so to represent this we would divide 15/4 by 2

do you know how to divide fractions?

\[\frac{ 15 }{ 4 } \div 2 \]

Answer 21

no

Answer 22

okay so first. we keep the first fraction, change the sign from division to multiplication and then flip the second fraction.

Answer 23

\[\frac{ 15 }{ 4 } * \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } = ? \]

Answer 24

so @pink33 what would be our answer

Answer 25

do you know how to multiply those two fractions?

Answer 26

1 7/8

Answer 27

there you go. one more problem can you solve this?

based on what we said

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \div \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } = ? \]

Answer 28

and also can you change

\[2\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\]

into an improper fraction.

tag me when you have an answer @pink33

Answer 29

1/6

Answer 30

remember it's division. do you recall the steps ?

Answer 31

Keep change flip

Answer 32

is tht the answer?

Answer 33

so 1 7/8 was the answer to your question but the other one was incorrect.

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \div \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } * \frac{ 3 }{1 } = \frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 34

take a look at the procedure then do this one

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \div \frac{ 1 }{ 6 } = ? \]
