Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem would look like this:

12 3/8 / 5 1/2

My math teacher told us to write it like a normal division problem.

12 3/8 ÷ 5 1/2

One way to solve is to turn both fractions into improper fractions, so..

12 3/8

So multiply 8 x 12 = 96 + 3 = 99/8

Then, 5 1/2, 2 x 5 = 10 + 1 = 11/2

99/8 ÷ 11/2, 99 ÷ 11 = 9, 8 ÷ 2 = 4,

So your answer would be 9/4, which is an improper fraction. To simply, just divide 9 by 4, and you would get 2 1/4 (mixed number).

Answer:9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

99/8*2/11=9/4*1/1=9/4

You can cancel out 99 and 11 to 9 and 1 as they are multiples of eac hother and you can do the same for 8 and 2 to 4 and 1

Sean has some candy bars that he wants to give away. He is going to give each person \dfrac18 8 1 start fraction, 1, divided b

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

22 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean has 2 3/4 candy bars. That is 11/4 candy bars.

He wants to give out 1/8 candy bars.

The number of people that will get candy is:

$\frac{11}{4} / \frac{1}{8}\\ \\= \frac{\frac{11}{4} }{\frac{1}{8}} \\\\\frac{11}{4} * \frac{8}{1} \\\\22$

22 people can get candy.

Please help! Find the equation of the line (graph provided in attached picture) Use exact numbers. y =_ x+_ ( _ represent blanks

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{4}x - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is given as $y = mx + b$

Where,

m = slope of the line = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

b = y-intercept, which is the value at the point where the line intercepts the y-axis. At this point, x = 0.

Let's find m and b to derive the equation for the line.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Use the coordinate pair of any two points on the line. Let's use the following,

$(0, -2) = (x_1, y_1)$ => on the line, when x = 0, y = -2

$(4, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$ => on the line, when x = 4, y = 1

Plug in the values and solve for m

$m = \frac{1 - (-2)}{4 - 0}$

$m = \frac{1 + 2}{4}$

$m = \frac{3}{4}$

b = -2 (the line intercepts the y-axis at this point)

Our equation would be =>

$y = mx + b$

$y = \frac{3}{4}x + (-2)$

$y = \frac{3}{4}x - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's just look at the point G(3) = 3

this point only occurs through one equation which is

g(x) = (1/3)x^2
