Question

Help ss down below ;(

Answer 1

what do you think

Answer 2

well, what is half of 3/5?

Answer 3

yeah

Answer 4

but you have to try to find out the process to get the answer too

Answer 5

ohh umm

Answer 6

ehmm why is this not answered yet

\[ \frac{ \frac{3}{5}}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{3}{5 \times 2} \]

that said, which option is the right one?

Answer 7

wait what do u need help in?

Answer 8

i didnt answer because i wanted to hear her opinion so i could know where to start

Answer 9

what, are you indirectly calling that direct? lol

Answer 10

stop with the quotes please -- its taking too much space
and sweet!
\[ \frac{3}{10} \]
which option is that?

Answer 11

3/10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the recipe for 1 serving calls for 3/5 gallons of milk.

We want to know what 1/2 a serving calls for. Let's set up a proportion:

(1/2) / 1 = x / (3/5) , where x is the amount of milk needed for 1/2 the recipe

Cross-multiply:

x * 1 = (1/2) * (3/5)

x = 3/10

The answer is thus 3/10 gallons.

Answer 12

then thats ur answer

Answer 13

ok thxxx

Answer 14

To see why \(\dfrac{\frac35}{2} = \dfrac{3}{5\times2}\), you just multiple numerator and denominator by 5.

So 5 in numerator will be cancelled, leaving \(5\times2\) in the denominator. Does that make sense?

Answer 15

You can see it this way: \[\dfrac{\frac35}{2} =\dfrac{\frac35}{2}\times\dfrac55 = \dfrac{\frac35\times5}{5\times2} = \dfrac{3}{5\times2}\]

Answer 16

what? no that is complicated for so reason -- i skipped a stage there, cuz its simple to understand. the CORRECT FULL explanation of it would be:
\[ \dfrac{\frac35}{2} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{3}{5 \times 2} \]

Answer 17

Or another way is

\(\dfrac{3}{5} \div 2 \)

2 is the same thing as \(\dfrac{2}{1}\)

\(\dfrac{3}{5} \div \dfrac{2}{1}\)

And you should know how to divide fractions

\(\dfrac{a}{b} \div \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{d}{c}\)

Dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. So you flip the second fraction and you can multiply it

\(\dfrac{3}{5} \div \dfrac{2}{1} = \dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{5\times 2}\)

Answer 18

By leaving out details? Ok then.

Answer 19

How is it wrong anyway?

Answer 20

So it is correct but with extra steps...

Answer 21

Not sure why you act as if it's wrong lol

Answer 22

dms i'm not spamming another post .-.

Answer 23

It's not wrong. Geerky42's comment was helpful in case OP wasn't sure how you arrived to the final 3/(5*2). Simplifying a fraction within a fraction would confuse any student just beginning to learn fractions

Answer 24

yeah its just complicated for no reason -- \( \dfrac{\frac{3}{\cancel{5}}}{2}\times\frac{\cancel{5}}5 \)
it would take u some time to think of that...
thats why just go with the \( \frac{1}{2} \)

Answer 25

The issue is you assumed that everyone has exactly one way to learn something; therefore there is exactly one way to teach... I simply provided another perspective on why it works. Sure it's not the simplest, but you will never know when it clicks for learners.

Answer 26

Please don't claim I am wrong. You could potentially confuse OP.

Answer 27

1) i never said u were wrong
2) why re you so proud of it?
3) just cut it -- no more spam.

Answer 28

1) "what no" "CORRECT"
2) I never said I am proud of it. I have issue with the way you handled my attempt

Answer 29

Not sure why you don't just ignore mine and simply provide your explanation, nothing more.
