Answer:

3/6 ÷ 4/8 =24/24 24/24 is also equal to 1 whole

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to change the division symbol into a mutliplication symbol.Then theres a method called KCP (Keep Change Flip).

Keep:Keep the 3/6
Change:Change ÷ into ×
Flip:Flip 4/8 to 8/4
Next the problem should look like this: 3/6 × 8/4
Then after that try to see if you can cross multiply(if you cant thats fine)
Then multiply the fractions,when you do that you should get 24/24
To make it easy you should simplify it,and when you simplify it you should get 1.

Answer:lets say the fraction is 3/4÷4/6 you would need to find the common denominator.To do that you would list the common factors which is 12 because 4×3 equals 12 and 6×2 equals 12. So then you fraction becomes 3/12÷4/12 now all you have to do is divide the numerator.So you divide 4÷3 which is 1 so your fraction becomes 1/12

Problem 33

Use the distributive property on the side containing parentheses of each expression and compare it to the other side.

a) 3(5a + 3) = 15a + 9 not equal to 15a + 6

b) 2(7b - 2) = 14b - 4 not equal to 14b + 4

c) 5(2c + 3) = 10c + 15 not equal to 7c + 8

d) 3(d + 5/3) = 3d + 5 which is equal to 3d + 5

Answer for problem 33: d)

Problem 34

Use a proportion. Let the unknown number of bowls be x. The proportion is made up of two ratios that are set equal to each other. Set each ratio as a ratio of the number of avocados per bowls of guacamole. 3 avocados per 1 bowl (3/1) equals 17 avocados per x bowls (17/x).

$\dfrac{3}{1} = \dfrac{17}{x}$

$3x = 17 \times 1$

$3x = 17$

$x = \dfrac{17}{3}$

$x = 5 \dfrac{2}{3}$

Answer: 17/3 full bowls which is the same as 5 2/3 full bowls.
