Answer: 37 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
14/1÷3/8=?
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
14/1 × 8/3=?
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
14×8/1×3 = 112/3
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
112/3
is the same as
112÷3
Convert to a mixed number using
long division so
112/3=37 1/3
Therefore:
14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3
1.65 + 0.85x= $20
0.85x=$18.35
x=21 10/17
first you write the equation
then you have to subtract 1.65 from the equation but you also have to subtract it from 20
then you divide 0.85 from 0.85x and from the 18.35 left over from subtracting 1.65 from 20
then you should get x=21 10/17 (simplified) but the decimal form is a ongoing fraction so you can just round it up to the nearest hundredth
