Theres a saying: Dividing fractions dont ask why, just flip the second and multiply.
so a/b / c/d = a/b * d/c
-8/2 * -3/6
1. cross - cancel common factor 2
4/2 * -3/3
2. Multiply
-4(-3)/ 2*3
3. multiply numbers
--12/2*3
- -12/6
4. Apply fraction rule -a/b=- a/b
=-(-12/6)
5. divide
= -(-2)
6. Apply rule -(-a)=a
=2
Your answer would be 2
Well first set up the first ratio as 6/24. That is commercial mins over show time mins. Then to keep the units the same convert 2 hours into minutes which would be 120 minutes. Then set up your next ratio as x/120 since you’re trying to find the commercial minutes. Then cross multiply so that it’s 24x=720 and then x=30 and that’s the amount of commercial minutes for 2 hours.
If you think about it, you have your answer in your question.
Convert 2/4 to 1/2 which in decimal form, is .5.
You’re final answer is -2.3,-2 2/4,-2.6.
I hope this helps!
