You make it an improper fraction. Take 3/2 for example. You can say for every 3 circles there are 2 squares. This doesn't work with 1 1/2.

I think you just have to simplify it to a simpler vulgar fraction because it's a ratio.
e.g. 42/28 = 3/2

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Well, I'm not really sure what to do, but if you just need the numbers to multiply to get the latter numbers in the question they are: 10/11 (for the first question) and 81/80 for the second.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Question #1: You just multiply 5/11 by two to get the number that 1/2 has to multiply to get 5/11. And 5/11 * 2 is 10/11. So I guess the answer is 10/11...

For Question #2: The common denominator for them both is 180, and 4/9 times 81/ 80 is what 80/180 (4/9) has to multiply by to get 81/180.

I used the equation 4/9x=9/20

Multiplied the 9 and then divided by 4 to get the answer, which was 81/80.

***I also noticed, that 1/2 is 1/22 away from 5/11, and 4/9 is 1/180 away from 9/20.

Hope this helps!

What is 12 1/2% of 256

s344n2d4d5 [400]

To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!

Work out the equation of<br> the line that goes through<br> (3, 2) and (-1, 10)

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

$The\,\,equation\,\,will\,\,be\,\,2x+y=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, A=(3,2)

B=(-1,10)

So, The equation will be

$\frac{x-x_{1} }{x_{1} -x_{2} } =\frac{y-y_{1} }{y_{1} -y_{2} } \\=>\frac{x-3 }{3-(-1) } =\frac{y-2 }{2-10} \\=>\frac{x-3 }{4} =\frac{y-2 }{-8}\\=>-8x+24=4y-8\\=>8x+4y=32\\=>2x+y=8$
