Answer:

It can sometimes be difficult to divide fractions, such as 3/8 divided by 2/3.

But it's no problem! We have displayed the answer below:

3/8 ÷ 2/3 = 9/16

How did we solve the problem above? When we divide two fractions, such as 3/8 ÷ 2/3, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.

We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the second fraction upside down and change the (divide) to an x (multiply) like so:

Then multiply the top numbers by each other and the bottom numbers by each other.

Then you'll get 9/16

Your welcome :)

Answer: 9/16

Explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change

the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 3/8 ÷ 2/3 means the same thing as 3/8 · 3/2.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply

by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Now multiplying across the numerators and denominators, we have 9/16.

Since 9/16 is in lowest-terms, it's or final answer.

is simply the difference of both amounts, but firstly let's convert the mixed fractions to improper, and subtract.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{7}{16}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 16+7}{16}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{103}{16}}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\stackrel{Jessie}{\cfrac{103}{16}}-\stackrel{Bryce}{\cfrac{9}{2}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{our LCD is 16}}{\cfrac{(1)103-(8)9}{16}}\implies \cfrac{103-72}{16}\implies \cfrac{31}{16}\implies 1\frac{15}{16}$

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{(3m - 4)(9 {m}^{2} + 12m + 16)}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{27 {m}^{3} - 64}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{( {3m)}^{3} - {(4)}^{3} }}$

Use the formula of a³ - b³ = ( a - b) ( a² + ab + b² )

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{(3m - 4)(3 {m}^{2} + 3m \times 4 + {4}^{2} }})$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{(3m - 4)( {9m}^{2} + 12m + 16}})$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
