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>

Joan has a prescription for 100 Theophylline capsules. Joan informs the pharmacist that she only has enough money to purchase ¼
balandron [24]

Answer:

25 capsules.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Joan has a prescription for 100 Theophylline capsules. Joan informs the pharmacist that she only has enough money to purchase ¼ of the prescription today.

To find the number of capsules that Joan will pay for today, we will find 1/4 of 100.

\text{The number of capsules that Joan will pay for today}=\frac{1}{4}\times 100

\text{The number of capsules that Joan will pay for today}=25

Therefore, Joan will pay for 25 capsules today.

The density of aluminum is 2.375 grams per cubic centimeter. Find the volume of a portion of a sheet of aluminum that has a mass
abruzzese [7]
This is the concept of density, volume and mass of different materials; To calculate for the volume of an aluminium material with density of 2.375 grams per cubic centimeter and a mass of 0.78 Kilogram we proceed as follows;

Density=mass/volume
making volume the subject we get;
volume=mass/density
thus;
mass=0.78 kg= 780 g
density=2.375 g/cm^3
Hence,
volume=780/2.375=328.421 cm^3

Help. I need to explain if she’s right or not

The triangular pyramid is made of 4 congruent triangles. They all have the same shape and size, so they have the same area. The area of one triangle is

A = b*h/2
A = 5*4.3/2
A = 10.75

So four of them lead to a total surface area of 4*10.75 = 43 square meters

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

The rectangular prism has the dimensions
L = 5
W = 5
H = 4.3

The surface area is found through the formula below
SA = 2*(L*W+L*H+W*H)
SA = 2*(5*5+5*4.3+5*4.3)
SA = 136

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

So far we found that
surface area of pyramid = 43 square meters
surface area of prism = 136 square meters

Dividing the values, we get 136/43 = 3.16279 approximately. The result is not equal to 2, so Susan's statement is not correct. The prism has more than twice the surface area of the pyramid
