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!

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

40th and 80th visit

the first visit where you receive both is the 40th

Step-by-step explanation:

personally, I believe that the simplest way to solve this is use an excel spreadsheet to see which visits would include both a free beverage and a free appetizer:

  • both rewards would happen only twice, at the 40th and 80th visit.

you can also calculate it mathematically since multiples of 8 and 10 do not repeat themselves very much, only when 8 is multiplied by 5 and 10.

If 3^2x+1=3^x+5 what is the value of x?
atroni [7]
Did you mean this?    <span>3^2x+1=3^x+5  =>  3^(2x+1) = 3^(x+5)?  If so, then 2x+1 is necessarily equal to x+5, so that 2x+1=x+5.  Thus, x = 4 (answer).

Those parentheses are not optional; they must be part of your problem statement and solution.</span>
