Answer 1

Answer:

(A) a=1,b=5,c=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(A) a=1,b=5,c=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify $3\frac{1}{2} \div 2\frac{1}{4}$ for values of a, b and c which satisfies: $a\dfrac{b}{c}$

$3\dfrac{1}{2} \div 2\dfrac{1}{4}\\\text{Changing each fraction to improper fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}\div \dfrac{9}{4}\\\text{Next, we change the division sign to multiplication by taking reciprocal of the second fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}X \frac{4}{9}\\=\dfrac{7X4}{2X9}\\=\dfrac{28}{18}$Converting our result to mixed fraction

$\dfrac{28}{18}=1\dfrac{10}{18}=1\dfrac{5}{9}\\a=1,b=5,c=9$
