The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).
When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.
3/4 ÷ 3/8
= 3/4 × 8/3
Simplifying gives us the final answer:
= 2
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
Answer: Noah is right. If the mean for the second lake is 60ft and the first lake is 45ft, the second lake has an average depth that is 15 feet deeper.
The standard deviations also indicate that the second lake has some even deeper spots, and even the shallower spots of the second lake are about the same as the shallow spots of the first lake.
Step-by-step explanation:
Check the picture below. So let's use those two points on the line.

bearing in mind that the standard form is also a general form.
standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
