First leave the first fraction alone.

Then turn the division sign into a multiplication sign.

Flip the second fraction over ( find its reciprocal ).

Multiply the numerators of the two fractions together. This result will be the numerator ( the top part ) of your answer.

Multiply the denominators of the two fractions together. The result will be the denominator ( the bottom part ) of your answer.

Then simplify your fraction by reducing it to the simplest terms.

Hello There!

To divide fractions, all you have to do is leave the first fraction alone in the equation but multiply by the reciprocal in the second fraction. This means "Flipped Number" so you flip the numerator and denominator in the second fraction and multiply across then simplify if you need to.

Devon and his friends bought strawberry wafers for $3 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spen

boyakko [2]

PART A
s = the number of packets of strawberry wafers ;
c = the number of packets of chocolate wafers ;
3 × s + 1 × c = 30 ;
s + c = 22 ;

PART B

The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.

c = 30 - 3s;
s + ( 30 - 3s ) = 22;
30 - 2s = 22;
30 - 22 = 2s;
8 = 2s;
s = 4 ;
c = 30 - 12 ;
c = 18 ;
