When you divide a fraction by a fraction, you're really just multiplying by a reciprocal. A reciprocal is the fraction flipped around.
So, 1/8 <span>÷ 1/4 is the same thing as 1/8 x 4/1
Now, you just multiply. 1 times 4 is 4. 8 times 1 is 8.
1/8 x 4/1=4/8
4/8 simplified is 1/2
So that is how 1/8</span><span>÷1/4=1/2</span>

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The amount of money in his account after 4 years = $7,658.73

Step-by-step explanation:

If interest is compounded annually, then formula to compute amount :

$A=P(1+r)^n$ , where P+ principal value, r= rate of interest, n= time ( in years).

As per given,

P= $6700 , r = 3.4% =0.034, n =4

$A=6700(1+0.034)^4\\\\=6700(1.034)^4\\\\=6700(1.14309455234)\approx7658.73$

Hence, the amount of money in his account after 4 years = $7,658.73

What is the value of x in the figure below? In this diagram, △ABD~△CAD.

morpeh [17]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the triangles ABD and CAD are similar.

The length of AB is 12.

The length of BD is x.

The length of AC is 27.

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Let us use the leg rule to determine the value of x.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac{AB}{BD}$

Substituting the values, we get;

$\frac{27}{12}=\frac{12}{x}$

Cross multiplying, we get;

$27x=12\times 12$

$27x=144$

Dividing both sides by 27, we have;

$x=\frac{16}{3}$

Thus, the value of x is $\frac{16}{3}$

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
