So 1/5 pound for 7 days
1/5 <span>÷ 7
rewrite the 7 as a fraction of 7/1
1/5 </span><span>÷ 7/1
keep the first fraction, change the division sign to multiplication, flip the second fraction
1/5 * 1/7
multiply across
(1 * 1) / ( 5 * 7)
1/35

She should</span><span> eat 1/35 of a pound each day to make her 1/5 of a pound last a week, or seven days.

Hope this helps</span>

Well, she should eat then 1/5 ÷ 7, that way she'd split the 1/5 lb in 7 equal pieces, one for each day

\bf \cfrac{1}{5}\div 7\implies \cfrac{1}{5}\div \cfrac{7}{1}\implies \cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{7}\implies \cfrac{1}{35}

A company has two packaging machines in a unit, each with a different daily capacity. The capacity of machine 1 is defined by th
ollegr [7]

Total capacity = sum of the individual production capacities.

Here,

Total capacity = sum of f(m) = (m + 4)^2 + 100  and g(m) = (m + 12)^2 − 50.

Then f(m) + g(m) =  (m + 4)^2 + 100 + (m + 12)^2 − 50.

We must expand the binomial squares in order to combine like terms:

 m^2 + 8 m + 16 + 100

+m^2 + 24m + 144 - 50

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

Then f(m) + g(m) = 2m^2 + 32m + 160 + 50  

      f(m) + g(m)   = 2m^2 + 32m + 210, where m is the number of

                                minutes during which the two machines operate.

Jason ran 5/7 of the distance around the school track. Sara ran 4/5 of Jason's distance. What fraction of the total distance aro
masha68 [24]
Jason: 5/7
Sara: 4/5

Think of it this way: if the total track is a mile, and Jason runs 5/7 of it,  he has run 5/7 of a mile. Then Sara runs 4/5 OF 5/7, with "of" meaning "times," so she runs 4/5 x 5/7, which gives you 20/35, which simplifies to 4/7. You can also think of Sara's distance as 80 percent of Jason's. If she runs "80 percent of the sevenths that Jason ran," that means she ran 4 out of his 5 sevenths.
