We can solve this by multiplying those two numbers but we place them in improper fraction.
2 1/2 x 2 1/4
becomes
5/2 x 9/4
for fraction multiplication, just multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator
5/2 x 9/4 = 45/8
we can simplify this into mixed fraction while numbers in whole numbers and remainder in numerator
5 5/8 is the answer
Answer:
48??
Step-by-step explanation:
You're looking for c, so you want to isolate it or get it by itself. To get rid of the /3 you multiply since the opposite of division is multiplication and to get rid of it, you do the opposite (like -9 you would add 9 to get it to 0). Now you are left with -19+c = 24 (the 24 is 8*3 because what you do to one side you do to the other. Now you get c by itself so you add 19 to both sides which leaves you with C= 43. Sorry if this was confusing!
There were 12 cookies and eight cows. Each cow wanted an equal share
of the cookies. How many cookies did each cow get?
Each cow got 1.5 of the cookies, because 12 divided by 8 is 1.5
