Answer:

\frac{10}{9} or 1\frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

We must make the next division of fractions

\frac{5}{12} ÷ \frac{3}{8}

Remember that (\frac{a}{b})^{-1}=\frac{b}{a}

Then take the denominator of the division which in this case is \frac{3}{8} and do (\frac{3}{8})^{-1}

(\frac{3}{8})^{-1}=\frac{8}{3}

Now multiply \frac{5}{12}*\frac{8}{3}

\frac{5}{12}*\frac{8}{3}=\frac{40}{36}=\frac{4*10}{9*4}=\frac{10}{9}

Finally

\frac{5}{12} ÷ \frac{3}{8}=\frac{10}{9}

<u>Answer:</u>

= 1 \frac { 1 } { 9 } or 1 . 1 1 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following two fractions that we are to divide:

\frac { 5 } { 1 2 } ÷ \frac { 3 } { 8 }

We can rewrite this as:

= \frac {\frac { 5 } { 1 2 } } {\frac { 3 } { 8 } }

To change this division into multiplication, we will take the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator to get:

= \frac { 5 } { 1 2 } \times \frac { 8 } { 3 }

= 1 \frac { 1 } { 9 } or 1 . 1 1 1

PLEASE HELP!!!! What is the measure of angle BCD
faust18 [17]

Answer:

82° because

98° + 70° = 168°

360° - 168° = 192°

192° is for two angles, so it can't be 192°, 220°

it's not VERY obtuse angle. So it remains only 82°

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

b=6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite number of solutions?

y = 6x – b

–3x + 1/2y = –3

we have

y=6x-b ----->equation A

-3x+\frac{1}{2}y=-3 -----> equation B

we know that

If the system has infinite number of solutions then, the equation A must be equal to the equation B

so

isolate variable y in the equation B

-3x+\frac{1}{2}y=-3

Multiply by 2 both sides

-6x+y=-6

y=6x-6 -------> new equation B

To find out the value of b, equate equation A and equation B

6x-b=6x-6

b=6
