Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).

like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...

what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?

the same : 16.

and what is half of 16 ? 8.

so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.

so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.

what was left was

15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound

Simplify (4x-8)/(-3x)*(12)/(12-6x)

zloy xaker [14]

$\dfrac{4x-8}{-3x}\cdot\dfrac{12}{12-6x}=\dfrac{4(x-2)}{-x}\cdot\dfrac{4}{-6(x-2)}=\dfrac{4}{-x}\cdot\dfrac{4}{-6}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{-x}\cdot\dfrac{4}{-3}=\dfrac{(2)(4)}{(-x)(-3)}=\dfrac{8}{3x}$
