2/8 divided by 1/4. Steps: 1. Division in math actually means multiplication. You just have to multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction (reciprocal= denominator and numerator are switched). 2. Do 2/8 times 4/1. 3. 2 times 4= 8 and 8 times 1= 8 4. Your answer would be 8/8 which equals 1. This is how you divide fractions

Carrie is looking for a job cutting hair. One option is self-employment at The Belmont Salon, where she would pay $438 per month

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

She would have to do 219 haircuts in a month for the costs to be the same, which would be $428.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this we take the costs of the first place.

$438

Next we can look at the costs of the second place using x as the number of haircuts she'd do.

2x

Now we can set the two equal to each other to find the number of cuts.

438 = 2x

219 = x

) What should be subtracted from -5/3 to get 5/6?

kumpel [21]

Answer:

$-\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Put this into an equation

$-\frac{5}{3} - x = \frac{5}{6}$

Step 2: Solve for x

$-x = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{5}{3}$

$-x = \frac{5}{2}$

$x =- \frac{5}{2}$

Therefore you need to subtract $-\frac{5}{2}$ from $-\frac{5}{3}$ to get $\frac{5}{6}$
