How to convert a fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms?
saveliy_v [14]
Well at first you take the numerator (the top number) and divide it by the denominator (the lower number) that'll give you the whole number. then you would reduce only the fraction. for example lets say that we have 4/8 We know that at the very least since they are both  even numbers we can divide by so so if we do that we have 2/4 oh look, even numbers again and divide both sides by two again and you get 1/2.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

She bought 5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

if she spent 10 dollars and its 2 dollars per pound that means that you have to divide 10 by 2 in order to get how many pounds you can buy for 10 dollars.

If you think about it if you want 2 pounds then you multiply 2 by 2 to get four because its 2 dollars per pound and you need 2 pounds. so since you don't know the number of pounds you fill in the blanks and do 10/2 to get 5.

<h3>Answer:  a = 15</h3>

Explanation:

The jump from 13 to 39 is "times 3" when comparing the diagonal segments. So the jump from 5 to 'a' must also be "times 3" to keep the sides in the same proportion. Therefore, a = 3*5 = 15.

Or we could solve it like so

13/39 = 5/a

13a = 39*5 ... cross multiplying

13a = 195

a = 195/13 .... dividing both sides by 13

a = 15
