Hi!

<h3>To divide a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. </h3><h3>First, convert the mixed numbers to fractions, by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding that to the numerator. </h3>

---------------

2 * 7 = 14

14 + 1 = 15

15/7

---------------

4 * 1 = 4

4 + 1 = 5

5/4

---------------

<u> $\frac{15}{7} * \frac{4}{5} = \frac{60}{35} (simplify) = 1 \frac{5}{7}$ </u>

<h2>The answer is 1 5/7 </h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Which table represents a linear function?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

1st one

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the x's for each one are going up by the same number, you are looking for a column of y's to either by going up by the same number or down by the same number.

The first table has a column of y's that look like this: 1/2 , 1 , 1 1/2, 2

This is actually going up for 1/2 each time.

This table shows a linear function.
