16. 24/3 (24 divided by 3) equals 8, if the fraction is 2/3 you have to do that twice (for the numerator) which is 8•2 or 16.

The answer would be 16 because 24 divided by 3 is 8. 8 multiplied by 2 is 16. 16 students have brown hair.

Write three fractions that are equivalent to 3 over 11 , but written in higher terms. One of them must

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Three fractions that are equivalent to $\frac{3}{11}$ are: $\frac{6}{22}$ , $\frac{24}{88}$ and $\frac{144}{528}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent fractions are set of fractions in which when simplified, they have the same answer.

Given: $\frac{3}{11}$

i. multiply the numerator and denominator of $\frac{3}{11}$ by 2,

= $\frac{3*2}{11*2}$ = $\frac{6}{22}$

i. multiply both the numerator and denominator of $\frac{6}{22}$ by 4,

= $\frac{6*4}{22*4}$ = $\frac{24}{88}$

ii. multiply the numerator and denominator of $\frac{24}{88}$ by 6,

= $\frac{24*6}{88*6}$ = $\frac{144}{528}$

So that;

$\frac{3}{11}$ = $\frac{6}{22}$ = $\frac{24}{88}$ = $\frac{144}{528}$ .

Three fractions that are equivalent to $\frac{3}{11}$ are: $\frac{6}{22}$ , $\frac{24}{88}$ and $\frac{144}{528}$ .

Express simplest form

Genrish500 [490]

$p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\2\dfrac{1}{2}\%$

<em>Convert the mixed number to the improper fraction.</em>

$2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2\cdot2+1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

$2\dfrac{1}{2}\%=\dfrac{5}{2}\%=\dfrac{\frac{5}{2}}{100}=\dfrac{5}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{100}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{40}$
