I don’t get it! It says “Match each division expression to it’s quotient.” So can anyone help with 1/12 / 1/6 ? Please!

We have two fractions being divided. When we divide two fractions, we flip the second fraction and multiply

1/12 divided by 1/6 = 1/12 * 6/1

-------

From here we multiply straight across.

The numerators multiply to get 1*6 = 6

The denominators multiply to 12*1 = 12

We end up with 6/12 which reduces to 1/2 when you divide both parts by the GCF 6

<h3>Final Answer: 1/2</h3>

Three consecutive even numbers have a sum where one half of the sum is between 84 and 96

mamaluj [8]

86 *2 = 172

172/3 = 57.33

54 + 56 +58 =168

168/2 =84

56 + 58 +60 = 174

174/2 =87

58 +60 +62 = 180

180/2 = 90

60 +62 +64 = 186

186/2 = 93

62 +64+66 = 192

192/2 = 96

there are 3 sets of numbers that fall between 84 & 96

1 set equals 84 and 1 set equals 96

so if you are counting those there are 5 sets

Factor completely. Remember to look first for a common factor. If a polynomial is prime, state this.

Yakvenalex [24]

This one is prime. The sum of two squares doesn't factor.

The more interesting case is q^2-1, which factors into (q-1)(q+1).

What does y equal y-16-3y=0

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

y = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 16 - 3y = 0

Group like terms

y - 3y - 16 = 0

Add similar elements: y - 3y = - 2y

- 2y - 16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides

- 2y - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16

Simplify

- 2y = 16

Divide both sides by - 2

$\frac{-2y}{-2}$ = $\frac{16}{-2}$

Simplify $\frac{-2y}{-2}$ : y

$\frac{-2y}{-2}$

Apply the fraction rule: $\frac{-a}{-b} = \frac{a}{b}$

= $\frac{2y}{2}$

Divide the numbers: $\frac{2}{2} = 1$

= y

Simplify $\frac{16}{-2}$ : - 8

$\frac{16}{-2}$

Apply the fraction rule: $\frac{-a}{-b} = \frac{a}{b}$

$-\frac{16}{2}$

Divide the numbers: $\frac{16}{2}$ = 8

= - 8

y = - 8

How do I find the value of x

juin [17]

You set (x+15) equal to 40 and solve for x.

x+15=40
-15 -15

x=25

Hope this helps!
