Step-by-step explanation:
(6)
we have to calculate the product
× ![\frac{5}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D)
cancel the 5's and the 4/8 by dividing both by 4
= 1 ×
= ![\frac{1}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D)
(7)
To divide 2 fractions follow the steps
• Leave the first fraction
• Change division to multiplication
• Turn the second fraction upside down
• Simplify, by cancelling if possible
First, however is to change the mixed number to an improper fraction
5
=
, hence
×
(cancel 16/4 and 3/9 )
=
×
= 4 × 3 = 12
(8)
3
=
, hence
×
( cancel 2/10 )
=
× ![\frac{1}{7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B7%7D)
=
= ![\frac{9}{35}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B35%7D)
