Solve 12 3/8 divided by 5 1/2 Please explain :)

Mathematics
2 answers:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago

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

HELP PLEASE!!! SHOW WORK!! A professional pianist spends an average of 45 hours practicing the piano in a three-week period. Usi
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

An average of about 450 hours; You could say something along the lines of "If the pianist who practices an average of 45 hours per week practices everyday for three months, they would play for approximately 450 hours total."

Step-by-step explanation:

We could write an equation to make it simpler to figure out, making the number of hours after three months = n, 4 = weeks in a month, 3 = the number of months, and 45 = the number of hours after a week. As an equation, it would look like:

45 * 3 * 4 = n

We know 3 *4 is 12, so the equation becomes 45 * 12 = n.

45 * 12 = 540, therefore the pianist practices an average of approximately 540 hours over a three-month period of time.

Are the two triangles similar? Explain your answer.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are  similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion  They  are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size

Triangle ABC  54 +68 +  58 = 180

Triangle EFG    68 +63 +49 = 180

In this case their corresponding angles are nor congruent

If a gardener fences in the total rectangular area shown in the illustration instead of just the square area, he will need twice
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

He needs 5x+56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much of fencing he needs , we find the perimeter of the given figure

All sides are equal in a square

To find perimeter of the square we add all the sides

4 sides we have for the square

one side is x, so perimeter of square = x+x+x+x= 4x

Now we find perimeter of rectangle

Opposite sides of rectangle are equal

Here for rectangle we consider only three sides

because fourth side is common for rectangle and square

So perimeter of the rectangle (with 3 sides) = 28 +x+ 28 = 56+x

Total fencing = perimeter of square + perimeter of rectangle

4x + 56 + x= 5x+56
