Answer: 91/288

Step-by-step explanation: To divide mixed numbers, first write the mixed numbers as improper fractions.

We can do this by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator. Then, we put our new numerator over our old denominator.

So here, we can write 1 and 5/8 as the improper fraction 13/8 and we can write 5 and 1/7 as the improper fraction 36/7.

So here, we have 13/8 ÷ 36/7.

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction.

So here, 13/8 ÷ 36/7 is the same as 13/8 × 7/36.

So now we are simply multiplying fractions and we do this by multiplying across the numerators and multiply across the denominators.

$\frac{13}{8} x \frac{7}{36} = \frac{91}{288}$

So now we have 91/288 which is in lowest terms.

This means that 1 and 5/8 divided by 5 and 1/7 is 91/288.

This is a GCF problem,
find the GCF of 36 and 27. To do this, list out the factors for each number.
EX 36- 1×36, 2×18, so on and so on. Then do this for 27. The GCF will be the greatest factor. In this case, that is 9.
So there would be 9 groups because that is the greatest common factor.
there would be 4 roses in each group because 4×9= 36.
There are 3 carnations in each group because 9×3 =27.
So 9 groups with 4 roses and 3 carnations.

The graph of the piecewise function f(x) is shown.

1. The range of a function is the set of all values that f can produce for all the x-es in the domain.

2. If we are given the graph, in order to find the range, we project the graph into the y axis. Informally, we draw the "shadow" of the graph into the y axis as in the FIGURE atached.

3. The range is <span>D || {y | −5 ≤ y ≤ −1}</span>
