1 answer:
When you divide two fractions, you're actually multiplying one of them by the reciprocal of the other. First, find the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping it upside down. Then, multiply it by the first fraction. (Numerator x numerator and denominator x denominator)
÷ Replace the second fraction with it's reciprocal
x 
Multiply (-7 x 3 and 12 x 2)
Both 21 and 24 are divisible by three, so divide them by 3

Morse code is essentially the same as binary. That is, there are two "digits", a dot or a dash.
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. Clearly, we can't just use one dot or dash, since that could only encode 2 letters at the most. We can't use two symbols because that could only encode 4 letters at the most. Similarly, 3 symbols means
letters at most.
We have to select the smallest power of 2 that exceeds or is equal to 26. In this case,
, so we would have to use up to 5 symbols to encode each letter in the alphabet.
