How do you solve equations that contain multiplication or division

You multiply or divide, depending on what is contained in the equation. But if there is addition or subtraction in the equation as well, then you do that too. But the order you do it in all depends on how the equation is written, what you're solving for, whether there are parentheses or not, and if there are, where they are placed.
If there's a particular problem you're stuck on that involves multiplication/division, feel free to post it or pm me about it and I'll try to help out.

<span>Always perform the same operation to both sides of the equation. When you multiply or divide, you have to multiply and divide by the entire side of the equation. Try to perform addition and subtraction first to get some multiple of x by itself on one side.</span>

Jordan's family traveled 3/8 of the distance to his grandfather's house on Saturday. They traveled 3/5 of the remaining distance

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

1/40

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the amount of distance they traveled since the start of the journey. 3/5 + 3/8 is 39/40. How did we get that, you may ask?

We need to find a number that both 5 and 8 have to make. That can be 40. But how we made 5 and 8 40, we need to do the same to the top numbers. So 39/40 when we add them up. Finally, we need to substract that from the whole, and this gets you 1/40. Hope this helps.

Have a wonderful day, my friend.
