Help me with these two questions
For question 1. Remember that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.
hmmm...
so i just multiply it the way it is
i think for 1 the anwser is c or d
\[-\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } \div -\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\] is the same as \[-\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } \ * -\frac{4 }{ 3 }\]
No dont multiply it like it is
ok
-5*-4=20 8*3=24 Answer=\[\frac{ 20 }{ 24 }\]
oh my god. thank you... what do you think four is
He made his error when multiplying the fractions together. He went back to the original fraction instead of using the reciprocal, Step 2 is the issue.
i have 2 other questions... think you could help me
Sure!
You got question 2 correct. Question 3 is B: 3.9 Two negatives make a positive.
i gave you the wrong ones
For the second image, do you need help with both questions, or just the one on the bottom?
both
satelite?
Okay, for the first question: Two negatives make a positive, so that gets rid of half of the answer choices, Then if we do the operation, we get 3.78. So your final answer would be D. For the second question: First do 15/5... 15/5=3 now do 0.5/5 0.5/5=0.1 add the two values: 3+0.1 = 3.1 Dont forget that the original number was negative so our answer will be negative. Final answer: A. -3.1
For the third question: We can change the division sign to multiplication if we use the reciprocal of the second fraction. \[\frac{ 3 }{ 5 } * -\frac{ 9 }{ 4 }\] 3*-9=-27 5*4=20 Final answer= \[-\frac{ 27 }{ 20 }\]
thank you for explaining :)
