Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. 
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.

14/15 * 5/2 

Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3      

*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

Steps in Dividing fractions.

24/60 ÷ 8/15

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.

Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.

24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4

360 ÷ 40 =   9 ;   9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The value of x that makes the equation true is 3

x=3

Explanation:

From the attached image;

Let us write the mathematical equation of the model.

The long bar means x, while the small squares have a value of 1 each.

2x+5=11

solving the equation we have;

\begin{gathered} 2x+5=11 \\ 2x=11-5 \\ 2x=6 \\ \text{divide both sides by 2;} \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of x that makes the equation true is 3

x=3
