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>
Answer:
The price of today's bread is $7.
40% of $7 is $2.80.
The price of yesterdays bread is $7-$2.80.
7-2.80=4.20
The price of yesterday's bread is $4.20
Tobin has enough money to purchase a loaf of yesterday's bread.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you want to divide 36 by 8 because you have 36 people and the recipie only makes it for 8.
You know that you will need to make the recipe 4.5 times.
So, multiply all the ingredient numbers by 4.5
2 x 4.5 = 9 quarts of water
3 x 4.5 = 13.5 sticks of cinnamon
1 x 4.5 = 4.5 tablespoons of coffee
Simple problem:
When simplifying 3(x-6) they subtracted 3 instead of multiplied by 3.
3(x-6) should be 3x-18.
Now when you simplify:
3x-18+4x+12-6x
Which is x -6 =0
Or x =6
Semi-monthly means twice every month, typically either on the 1st and 15th,
or on the 15th and last.
Months don't line up with weeks in any regular way. Depending on the
company, if they say "bi-monthly", they may pay 24 times a year, or else
26 times a year.
If they pay every 2 weeks, the semi-monthly is $2400.
