So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!
If you're confused about anything leave me a reply and I'll try to explain the best that I can!
What we know:
quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
in quotients exponents are subtracted of they have the same base, for example 10^6 and 10² have the same base of 10
What we need to find: quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
9.2 x 10^6
-------------- = 4 x 10^4
2.3 x 10²
Here in this problem I divided 9.2 by 2.3 and got 4, since the solution was simple and clean meaning no repeated decimals I went ahead and divided the 10^6 by 10^2 and got 10^4.
Another method would be to expand both numbers then divide and do scientific notation again.
Remember to change to normal notation you move the decimal to the right using the number of the exponent.
9.2 x 10^6= 9200000
2.3 x 10²= 230
920000/230=40000
40000= 4 x 10^4 scientific notation
Use the method that is best for you or just know you can use either method to check your work.
My teacher told be to try and think of it as a circle, because circles are 360 degrees. Then to place those angles in the circle and it should make it easier to find the angles, because when you see it in the circle, you can divide it into 4 parts so that you would then have 4, 90 degree angles that you can then work off of by placing those angles you need to find into the circle. It was supposed to make it easier, and i genuinely hope that you can do this. You got this, and you will get through the pain of math tonight and many more. Good luck. ^-^
297:5.5
divide 5.5 by both sides which
5.5 divided by 5.5 is 1 and 297 divided by 5.5 is 54
