3/4 ÷ 5 1/2 please explain the steps

1 answer:

3 0

The easiest way to do it is to make the numbers into decimals. All you need to do is divide them.

To convert 3/4 into a decimal just divide 3 by 4.

3 / 4 = .75

To get 5 1/2 into a decimal just ignore the 5 for now and divide the 1 by 2.

1 / 2 = .5

Now add the 5 back on and you have 5.5

So far you have converted the equation from (3/4) / 5 1/2 to .75 / 5.5

Now just divide .75 by 5.5

.75 / 5.5 = 1.136 with the 36 repeated

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the fractions are being multiplied

Factorise the denominators of both fractions

x² - 3x - 10 = (x - 5)(x + 2)

x² + x - 12 = (x + 4)(x - 3)

The product can now be expressed as

$\frac{x-5}{(x-5)(x+2)}$ × $\frac{x+2}{(x+4)(x-3)}$

Cancel (x - 5) and (x + 2) on the numerators/ denominators, leaving

$\frac{1}{(x+4)(x-3)}$ = $\frac{1}{x^2+x-12}$

Rewrite the expression in the form y^n

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$y^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{a^b}{a^c} = a^{b - c}$

Using this rule we have:

$\frac{y^{-7}}{y^{-13}} = y^{-7 -(-13)} = y^6$

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (10,14) and (-7,7).

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

(1.5, 10.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

$midpoint = \bigg( \frac{10 + ( - 7)}{2}, \: \: \frac{14 + 7}{2} \bigg) \\ \\ = \bigg( \frac{3}{2}, \: \: \frac{21}{2} \bigg) \\ \\ = = ( 1.5, \: \: 10.5 )$
