You have to use the reciprocal. for example, 4/5 divided by 1/3
you would leave the dividend the same but flip the divisor. you would change it to a multiplication sign. 4/5 times 3/1
then multiply straight across. hope i helped

Hi!

Let's say that we have 5/8 and 3/4 and we have to divide them . One thing that is very important when dividing fractions is knowing the meaning of reciprocal.
When we are dividing fractions we use the reciprocal, for example the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3 .

5/8 divided by 3/4 = 5/8 divided by 4/3

Now that we have the reciprocal of 3/4 , we multiply both fractions . We don't "divide them " .
So it's something like this

5/8 times 4/3=20/24

Just find the reciprocal and multiply !


Hope it helps and have a wonderful day!

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence 1313, 1616, 1919, ……, 7070, 7373?
Nataliya [291]
To find the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence, we need to use the formula 
a_{n}= a_{1}+(n-1)d    
where a_{n} is the nth number, a_{1} is the first number, n is the number of terms and d is the difference of the two consecutive numbers.
7373 = 1313 + (n - 1)(303)
7373 = 1313 + 303n - 303
7373 = 1010 + 303n
7373 - 1010 = 303n
6363 = 303n
6363 ÷ 303 = n
n = 21

Therefore, there are 21 terms in the arithmetic sequence given.

A line with slope -2/3 passes through the point (-12,16) What is the X-intercept
Troyanec [42]

to find the x-intercept of a function, we simply set y = 0 and then solve for "x", so, let's first find the equation of it and then set y = 0.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{16})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies-\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-12)] \\\\\\ y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+12)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{y}{\downarrow }}{0}-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-8\implies -8=-\cfrac{2x}{3} \\\\\\ -24=-2x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-2}=x\implies 12=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (12,0) ~\hfill

A hardware store rents vacuum cleaners that customers may use for part or all of a day, up to 12 hours, before returning. The st
jek_recluse [69]

The flat fee that the store charges is $14 and the cost for 7 hours is $56

A linear equation is on the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

let f for the total rental cost of a vacuum cleaner for x hours

Using the points (1, 20) and (3, 32) from the table:

f-f_1=\frac{f_2-f_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\f-20=\frac{32-20}{3-1} (x-1)\\\\f(x)=6x+14

The flat fee that the store charges is $14

The reasonable domain is 1 ≤ x ≤ 12

The cost for 7 hours is:

f(7) = 6(7) + 14 = 46
