Hi student, let me help you out!

..............................................................................................................................................

First, let's recall the process of dividing fractions. We can easily do that if we follow these steps:

Flip over the fraction you are dividing by.
Multiply the first fraction times the second fraction.
Simplify if you can.

Step 1. Flip over the fraction you are dividing by: $\mathrm{\cfrac{3}{5}\div\cfrac{9}{8}}$

Step 2: Multiply the first fraction times the second fraction: $\mathrm{\cfrac{3\times9}{5\times8}}$ .

Notice that we multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the numerator of the second fraction, and we do the exact same thing with the denominators.

Upon simplifying, we obtain $\mathrm{\cfrac{27}{40}}$ .

We cannot simplify this fraction, since 27 and 40 do not have any common factors at all, except 1.

Hope this helped you out, ask in comments if any queries arise.

<h2><u>Dividing Fractions</u></h2>

<h3>How to know what to do next? give solution with steps</h3>

To determine the quotient of the two fractions, get the reciprocal of the second fraction, change the division sign into multiplication sign and simplify.

3/5 ÷ 8/9
3/5 × 9/8

Multiply numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator. Reduce the expression if possible.

3/5 × 9/8
3 × 9/5 × 8
27/40

<u>Answer:</u>

The quotient is <u>27/40</u>.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the proportional one

the points (x,y) will change proportionally to each other

the (1,r) is the proportionality

soo for the B graph,

it's (1,100)

when the 'x' value goes up by 1, the 'y' value goes up by 100... proportionally :)

Show that every perfect square is congruent to 0, 1, or 4 modulo 8

Keith_Richards [23]

You want to prove that

$n^2\equiv k\mod8,k\in\{0,1,4\}$

for (presumably) all integers $n\ge1$ .

Let's consider some sub-cases.

Suppose $n=2\ell-1$ is odd. Then

$n^2=(2\ell-1)^2=4\ell^2-4\ell+1$

If $\ell$ is even, then so is $\ell^2-\ell$ , which means you can write $4\ell^2-4\ell=8m$ for some integer $m$ , and this reduces to $n^2\equiv1\mod8$ .

If $\ell$ is odd, the same thing happens; you get that $\ell^2-\ell$ is still even, so $4\ell^2-4\ell\equiv0\mod8$ and you're left again with $n^2\equiv1\mod8$ .

Now assume $n=2\ell$ is even. Then $n^2=4\ell^2$ . If $\ell=2j$ is even, then you will always be able to write

$n^2=(2\ell)^2=4\ell^2=4(2j)^2=8\times2j^2\equiv0\mod8$

Meanwhile, if $\ell=2j-1$ is odd, then

$n^2=4\ell^2=4(2j-1)^2=16j^2-16j+4\equiv4\mod8$

So you conclude that

$n^2\equiv\begin{cases}0\mod8&\text{for }n\in\{4,8,12,16,\ldots\}\\1\mod8&\text{for }n\in\{1,3,5,7,\ldots\}\\4\mod8&\text{for }n\in\{2,6,10,14,\ldots\}\end{cases}$
