Two and two fifths divided by one and a half

Mathematics
1 answer:
worty [1.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8/5 or 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

1 1/2 = 3/2

Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...

12     3         12    2        24     8             3

—  ÷ —   =   — × —    =  —  = —   <em>or</em>  1  —

5       2         5     3        15      5             5

*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

\frac{2}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A bag contain 5 red marbles,4 green marbles and 1 blue marble. A marble is chosen at random from the bag and not replaced, then a second marble is chose.

TO FIND: What is the probability both marbles are green.

SOLUTION:

Total marbles in bag =10

total number of green marbles =4

Probability that first marble will be green P(A)=\frac{\text{total green marbles}}{\text{total marbles}}

                                                                    =\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

Probability that second marble will be green P(B)=\frac{\text{total green marble in bag}}{\text{total marble in bag}}

                                                                                    \frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}

As both events are disjoint

probability both marbles are green =P(A)\times P(B)

                                                           =\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{15}

Hence  the probability both marbles are green is \frac{2}{15}
