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>

Roberto decorates rectangular signs. One sign is 2/3 foot long and 1/4 foot wide. Another sign is 1/2 foot long and 1/3 foot wid
nordsb [41]

Answer: It takes Him 1/4 hours to decorate both signs,

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the area of a rectangle is equal to:

Area: length x width

Replacing with the values given;

Sign 1 =A1 = 2/3 x 1/4 =1/6 ft2

Sign 2 =A2= 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 ft2

If we sum both areas:

A1 +A2 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 ft2 = 1/3 ft2 (total area)

Since it takes Roberto 3/4 hour to decorate a 1-square-foot sign:

For 1/3 ft2

3/4 hour x 1/3 ft2 = 1/4 h

ITt takes Him 1/4 hours to decorate both signs,

Please help me to solve this​
zzz [600]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the height by use Pythagoras theorem on the right triangle:

h = sqrt (5^2 - 4^2)

= sqrt 9

= 3.

Volume of the prism = area of the triangle * length

= 1/2 * 3 * 4 * 10

= 1/2 * 12 * 10

= 60 cm^3.

Total area = area of 2 triangles + area 0f 3 rectangles

= 2 * 1/2 * 3 * 4 + 3 * 10 +  4 * 10 + 5 * 10

= 12 + 30 + 40 + 50

= 132 cm^2.
