First turn any mixed numbers into improper fractions. 1 3/4 would be 7/4. Becuase you multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the numerator.
So now you have 7/4 divided by 2/5. Whenever you divide, you flip the 2nd fraction upside down... known as the reciprocal. And after that you <em>multiply </em>the first number by the upside down 2nd number.
So now you have 7/4 X 5/2. When multiplying, just multiply the numerators across and the denominators across. As your answer, you get 35/8 or 4 3/8.
Yes..it does. To be a function, all the inputs (x's) have to be different numbers...there can be no repeating x's...there can be repeating outputs (y's)...just not the x's
