x/x=1 where x=x
so
mutliply both fractions by what makes the bottom numbers 40
1/5
5 times what=40?
answer is 8
multily by 1 or 8/8
1/5 times 8/8=8/40

7/8
8 is bottom
8 times what is 40? answer is 5
multiply by 1 or 5/5
7/8 times 5/5=35/40
1/5=8/40
7/8=35/40
they are not equal

No because you multiply 1/5 by 8 ans you will get 8/40 mean while you got 7/8 and multiply that by 5 and you get 35/40 so the answer is no

barxatty [35]

165 ounces for 11 boxes. I want to know the weight of 1 box. How do I get 11 boxes to be 1 box. Divide it by 11.

11/11 = 1 box. Since I chose 11 I have to also use 11 for the ounces
165/11 = 15 ounces per box

Fill in the blanks to complete the area model to solve 6.60 divided by 15 is the same as _ x ? = _ 6.60 = _ hundredths

storchak [24]

Answer:

$15 x = 6.60$

$x = 44\ hundredths$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{6.60}{15}$

Required

Complete the model

[ ] x = 6.60

x = _ hundredths

$\frac{6.60}{15}$

Equate to x

$x = \frac{6.60}{15}$

Multiply both sides by 15

$15 * x = \frac{6.60}{15} * 15$

$15 * x = 6.60$

$15 x = 6.60$

So, we have:

[ ] x = 6.60 =====> $15 x = 6.60$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{6.60}{15}$

$x = 0.44$

This implies that:

$x = 44\ hundredths$

Hence:

x = _ hundredths =====> $x = 44\ hundredths$

Building a is 190 feet shorter than building

MaRussiya [10]

We will solve this using a system of equations. The first part tells us that building a is 190 feet shorter than building b. Our first equation, then, is b=190+a. The second part tells us that the addition of the two buildings' heights is 1480. So our second equation is a + b = 1480. The first equation is already solved for b, so let's sub that value into the second equation for b: a+(190+a)=1480. 2a + 190 = 1480 and 2a = 1290. That means that building a is 645 feet tall. Building b is 190 feet taller, so b = 190 + 645, which is 835.
