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!

A worker is handling the four of a rectangle room that is 12 feet by 15 feet.The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the floor of the rectangular room that is 12 feet by 15 feet. The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Area of the rectangular room would be

12 × 15 = 180 feet²

The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet. Converting 1 1/3 feet to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 feet

Area if each tile is

4/3 × 4/3 = 16/9 ft²

The number of tiles needed to cover the entire floor is

180/(16/9) = 180 × 9/16

= 101.25

102 tiles would be needed because the tiles must be whole numbers.
