Given:
Area of sample board: 1/3 square ft.
Weight of sample board: 1/5 lbs

We need to get the weight of the whole square foot.

1/3 square foot is only a part of the whole square foot. Its corresponding weight is 1/5 pounds. We need to divide the area by its corresponding weight to get the total weight per square foot.

1/3 ÷ 1/5 

Rules of dividing fractions:
1st fraction: 1/3 ; 2nd fraction: 1/5

1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. 1/5 ⇒ 5/1

2) Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
1/3 * 5/1 = 5/3

3) Simplify fraction.
5/3 is an improper fraction. To simplify it, it needs to become a mixed fraction.

5/3 = 1 2/3 pounds.

Damm [24]
1 \frac{1}{6} -  \frac{7}{12} \\ 
 \\ 1 \frac{1}{6}= \frac{1x6+1}{6}= \frac{7}{6} \\ 
 \\  \frac{7x2}{6x2}= \frac{14}{12} \\ 
 \\  \frac{7x1}{12x1}= \frac{7}{12} \\ 
 \\  \frac{14}{12} -  \frac{7}{12}= \frac{7}{12} \\ 
 \\ Solution: \frac{7}{12}

Use diagrams or the description of equivalent ratios to show thay 2:3,4:6, and 8:12 are equivalent
VikaD [51]
So
lets say we have
a/b=2a/2b
we know that if we invert one and multiply it by the other (divide them), we get 1 because a/a=1 where a=a

so
2/3 and 4/6 are equivelent because if you divide them we get 12/12=1

2/3 and 8/12 are equivilent because if you divide them we get 24/24=1

and sinde 2/3=4/6 and 2/3=8/12, 2/3=4/6=8/12

they are equivlent
