WHAT IS 3/8 DIVIDED BY 1/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
serious [3.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the divison sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So here, 3/8 divided by 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/8 × 2/1.

Now we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and we multiply across the denominators.

So we have 3 × 2 which is 6 and 8 × 1 which is 8. Since 6/8 is not in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 which is 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 3/4.

Therefore, 3/8 divided by 1/2 is 3/4.

What is 2.1 times 3.2 find the missing partial products HELP.​
vredina [299]

Given:

The area model for 2.1\times 3.2.

To find:

The value of 2.1\times 3.2 and the missing values in the area model.

Solution:

2.1 can be written as 2 and 0.1 on the left side of the area model.

3.2 can be written as 3 and 0.2 on the top of area model.

Area of the four parts of the area model are:

2\times 3=6

2\times 0.2=0.4

0.1\times 3=0.3

0.1\times 0.2=0.02

The complete area model is shown below.

After adding all areas of the area model, we get

6+0.4+0.3+0.02=6.72

Therefore, the value of 2.1\times 3.2 is 6.72 and the missing values of the area model are 0.3 and 0.02 respectively.

How many $10$-digit numbers are there, such that the sum of the digits is divisible by $2$?
navik [9.2K]

Complete question is;

How many 10 - digit numbers are there, such that the sum of the digits is divisible by 2?

Answer:

There are 4500000000 ten digit numbers whose sum is divisible by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are dealing with 10 digit numbers, the first 10 digit number whose sum is divisible by 2 is; 1000000001.

While the last 10 digit number whose sum is divisible by 2 is 9999999999.

Now,to find how many 10 digit numbers whose sum are divisible by 2, we will simply divide the difference of both numbers by 2 and then add 1 to the answer. This is because subtracting the minimum from the maximum gives us the number of 10 digit numbers we have. Then dividing by 2 gives the number of ten digit numbers with sum divisible by 2 in between. Then adding 1 to the result to cover the number not included gives;

((9999999999 - 1000000001)/2) + 1 = 4500000000

Three times the difference of x and 2 is greater than -21
svetlana [45]
Three times (3 times something) the difference of x and 2 (2-x) is  greater than (>) -21 (-21)
3 times (2-x)>-21
3(2-x)>-21
distrobite using distributiver poerpoty
a(b+c)=ab+ac
3(2-x)=6+(-3x)=6-3x
6-3x>-21
add 3x to both sides
6>-21+3x
add 21 to both sides
27>3x
divide both sides by 3
9>x
x<9
so x= any number below 9 not including 9
