The greatest common factor is 8 so if you dived both parts of the fractions by 8 you get the simplest form. 48/200 ==> 6/25
Answer: 6/25
Answer: 300
We know that 5×3=15. Since we are trying to get 1500 we Multiply 300×5 and get 1500.
<u>How do we know?</u>
- As you can see if you cross out 2 of the 0 in 300 you have 3×5. When you multiply it you get 15.
- Also if you cross out 1 of the 0 in 300 you have 30×5. When you multiply that you get 150.
As you see when you still multiply either of those problems you have 15 in it. So we should know 300×5=1500.
Note: We can also multiply 500×3 and get 1500. You still get the same answer but just switched numbers.
if you take a number .1 of it would be 1/10 of it,
.1 of 10 would be 10 .1 of 100 would be 10 etc
to find .1 of 1/10 all we need to do is 1/10 / 10 = 1/100
to prove our answer is correct just do 1/100 x 10 = 1/10
One method you can use to solve this problem is by setting up a proportion.
12 cups/28 oz = 18 cups/? oz
You'll want to cross multiply 28 by 18, which equals 504. Then divide 504 by 12 and you'll get the answer 42 ounces of beef broth.
