Hi there!

Craig's reason is not reasonable because when you add fractions you have to find equivalent fractions.

The total distance in miles would be 1 1/8 miles.

By using a number line, line up the fractions, so then you could add them both.

Hope this helps :)

You have to fill in the blank for this one 4/9 divided by blank equals 12
photoshop1234 [79]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

x: unknown number

We now write the expression that models the problem:

\frac{\frac{4}{9}}{x} = 12

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

\frac{4}{9}=12x

\frac{4}{9(12)}=x

x=\frac{4}{108}

x=\frac{1}{27}

Answer:

4/9 divided by 1/27 equals 12
