We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12 [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12 [flip and change sign]
3/48 [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour.
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes

Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12 [starting equation]
3 9/12 [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes

I have a 3 foot board that needs to be equally decided into 1/2 how many extra peices will I have

anygoal [31]

Answer:

No extra pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of foot board = 3

Equally divided into = 1/2

Question asked:

How many extra pieces will I have = ?

Solution:

By dividing 3 by 1/2 we can find the extra pieces.

= $3\div\frac{1}{2}$

= $3\times\frac{2}{1}$

= $6$

Since, the remainder is zero, thus there is no any extra pieces I have.
