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

Answer:

The bottom question is wrong. You have to multiply 8 to get the amount earned. But the rest is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

6.25 x 8 = 50

12.5 x 8 = 100

18.75 x 8 = 150

25 x 8 = 200

31.25 x 8 = 250
