In order to compare you must multiply the the bottom two by each other and then multiply the top one by the same number you multiplied the bottom one by. The answer is not equal because the first fraction is 6/15 and the second is 5/12.

How do u do 2 over 3 =A over 60 PLZ NO LINKS THANKS

Ivanshal [37]

Hey there!

2/3 = a/30

First: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY the given numbers

2(30) = 3(a)

2(30) = 60

3(a) = 3a

New EQUATION: 3a = 60

Second: DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES

3a/3 = 60/3

CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 60/3 because that helps you solve for your a-value

60/3 = a

60/3 = 20

Therefore, your answer is: a = 20

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

What is the product? One-eighth times three-elevenths 3 over 88 1 over 22 4 over 19 35 over 88

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{88}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

One-eighth times three-elevenths

Required

Solve

One-eighth means 1/8

Three-elevenths means 3/11

So, mathematically; the above expression is represented as thus:

$\frac{1}{8} * \frac{3}{11}$

To solve this, we simply multiply the numerator and the denominator together.

After multiplying these together, the next is to check if the resulting can be simplified

If yes,we simplify it and if otherwise, we live it like that.

So,

$\frac{1}{8} * \frac{3}{11}$

$=\frac{1 * 3}{8 * 11}$

$= \frac{3}{88}$

At this point, the fraction can't be simplified any further.

Hence,

$\frac{1}{8} * \frac{3}{11} = \frac{3}{88}$
