A number being divided by a number would be the same as a number multiplied by the reciprocal of the other number.

Reciprocal: the “flip” of a fraction (ex. the reciprocal of 6/7 is 7/6)

Example:
5/6 / 1/6
= 5/6*6/1
=30/6
=5

We can apply the same to the question 1/5 / 3.

1/5 / 3
=1/5*1/3
=1/15

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.

9/4 plus 2/3 in fraction form please!
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The answer would be 35/12 or 2 and 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to convert the fractions, so that they have the same denominator. A common denominator is 12. So, we mulitply 4 by 3 (because 4 X 3 = 12) and we do the same thing for 9. This makes the fraction 27/12. Now we mulitply 2/3 by 4 (because 3 X 4 = 12) and we also multiply 4 by 2 which gives us 8/12. Add 27/12 + 8/12 and you get 35/12 which can be simplified to 2 and 3/4.

A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special diet to gain weight rapidly. He gained weight at a constant rate.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Finding the rate of the weight gain, we divide the total weight gained with the total number of months that took to gain that weight.

Total time (months) = 0.5 + 2 + 3.5 = 6 months

Total weight (kg) = 80.6 + 88.4 + 96.2 = 265.2 kilograms

Rate = Kg ÷ Months

Rate = 265.2 ÷ 6 = 44.2

44.2 kilograms per month​

Cheers!

How can conversion of measurements help me solve real world problems
jeka57 [31]
In different parts of the world people use different units. Being able to convert will help me understand and fit into their surroundings. Like for instance in Canada people measure speed in kilometers, so their speed limits are written in kmph. While in America the speed is measured in miles so Mph. Knowinf=g the conversions can help you drive safely and not get a ticket.
Hope that was what you were expecting.

1. For the shown triangle, AD is 42, MD is 27, AN is 20 and NG is 3x+3.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

  • 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>According to triangle similarity, corresponding sides have equal ratios.</u>

  • AM/AD = AN/AG

<u>Convert the ratio as below:</u>

  • (AD - MD)/AD = AN/(AN + NG)
  • (42 - 27)/42 = 20/(20 + 3x + 3)

<u>Simplify and solve for x:</u>

  • 15/42 = 20/(3x + 23)
  • 5/14 = 20/(3x + 23)
  • 1/14 = 4/(3x + 23)
  • 3x + 23 = 4*14
  • 3x + 23 = 56
  • 3x = 33
  • x = 11
