How to divide a fraction

Mathematics
2 answers:
Ber [7]3 years ago

You can begin to divide a fraction by multiplying by it's reciprocal. Here are the simple steps with an example of 4/5 divided by 2/6

- Leave the first fraction in the equation alone.: 4/5 is left alone

- Turn the division sign into a multiplication sign. 4/5 x 2/6

- Flip the second fraction over (find its reciprocal). 4/5 x 6/2

- Multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the two fractions together: = 24

- Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the two fractions together: =10

- Simplify as much as you can: 24/10 or 12/5 or 2 2/5

Hope this helped :))

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.

A furniture store pays a wholesale price for a mattress. Then, the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale pric
slega [8]
Part A:

Given that <span>the mattress is sold for 50% off of the retail price, let the retail price of the mattress be x, then

50% of x = 1200
⇒ 0.5x = 1200
⇒ x = 1200 / 0.5 = 2400

Therefore, </span><span>the retail price of the mattress, before the discount is $2,400.



Part B:

Given that </span><span>the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale price. Let the whole sale price be p, then

(100% + 150%) of p = 2400
250% of p = 2400
2.5p = 2400
p = 2400 / 2.5 = 960.

Therefore, </span><span>the wholesale price, before the markup was $960</span>

Change each of the fractions into decimals.

1/8 becomes 0.125

-1/7 becomes -0.143

and -0.02555

0.2

In order from least to greatest,

-0.143, -0.02555, 0.125, 0.2

OR
