Solve. To solve this equation, you must change the divide sign into a multiplication sign.
To do so, change it into a multiplication sign, and flip the second fraction
(5/12)/(2/11) = 5/12 x 11/2
Multiply across
5/12 x 11/2 = 55/24
55/24, or 4 7/12

Answer: There were 78 red apples at the party.
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation can be represented by the equation
x + 3x + 2(3x) = 130 where x is the number of green apples, 3x is the number of yellow apples and 2(3x) is the number of red apples.
Now solve for x
x +3x +2(3x) =130
4x + 6x = 130
10x = 130
x = 13
Now we know that x is 13 so put it into the expression for red apples and solve for the actual number of red apples.
2 * (3*13) = ?
2 * 39 = 78
