It is always because if you have an improper fraction, the larger number is always the numerator. To get a reciprocal, you flip the fraction so that the denominator is the numerator, and vice versa. If the numerator is always bigger, and you make it the denominator, it would be proper.
There are 16 cups in 1 gallon so you would have to turn the denominator in the fraction into a 16 meaning you would multiply by 4 (because 4 goes into 16, 4 times). Your new fraction is 12/16. now you do 6 gallons*16 cups and you get 96 cups. Then you add the fraction onto 96 and you would be adding 12. Your final answer is 108 cups in 6 3/4 gallons
Answer:4x2−6x−4
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x+2)(x−2)
=(4x+2)(x+−2)
=(4x)(x)+(4x)(−2)+(2)(x)+(2)(−2)
=4x2−8x+2x−4
=4x2−6x−4
