Question

Just e and f? Explain it too please (Image: Dividing fractions)

Answer 1

Answer:

E equals 15/4 and f equals 75/28

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide fractions, try to make them improper since it is easier to work with. You make them improper by multiplying the denominator with the whole number, and add the product with the numerator.

For example, 1 1/2 is written as 3/2 because 2 times 1 is 2, and 2+1 is 3. The denominator always stays the same.

Once you get the improper fractions (an example of an improper fraction is 9/8), then you would divide the fractions.

When you divide the fractions, keep the first fraction the same, and then multiply the first fraction with the second fraction, but you switch the denominator and numerator of the second fraction.

For example, if you multiply 7/8 and 3/2, to divide them, you would keep 7/8 the same and you would switch 3/2 to 2/3 and multiply to get 14/24.  

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

e) 3¾

f) 2 19/28

Step-by-step explana tion:
