In math, "over" and "/" and "÷" mean the same thing. The expression you have written is

... 7/12/5/9 = 7/540

It seems possible you may want the ratio of two fractions to be simplified. Perhaps you intend ...

... (7/12)/(5/9) = (7/12)×(9/5) = (7×9)/(12×5) = 63/60

... = 21/20 = 1 1/20

Dividing by anything is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. This is a convenient fact when dividing by a fraction.

Parker offers to pay for 5 of his friends to play laser tag, but 3 of them don’t want to play. Parker offers to pay for 5 of his

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find how many friends are playing. This can be found in the equation 5-3. Now you multiply by six to find the cost. If you chose C, that would be incorrect, because the () you would mltilply first (30) and then subtract 3 (27). You can also think of it as finding the cost of how much all of them want to play by using the distributive property, leaving you with 30 - 18, and subtract from there to get 12.
