The amount of water emitted by the garden hose over time can be expressed as a ratio: 9/6, or 9 quarts of water for every 6 seconds of time. We can then simplify this ratio to 3/2, or 3 quarts of water for every 2 seconds of time. Since the ratio will remain constant, or the same, over time, we can set up an equivalent ratio, or fraction to find the amount of water emitted in 10 seconds: 3/2 = x/10. We look at the denominators and see that 2 x 5 = 10. In order to make the ratios equivalent, we would also multiply the numerator by 5: 3 x 5 = 15, which gives us the amount of water emitted in 10 seconds.

Write out the steps in solving 3/4 x 2 2/5

max2010maxim [7]

3/4 × 2 2/5

Turn 2 2/5 into an improper fraction.

2 2/5 = (5 × 2) + 2 = 12

So, 2 2/5 = 12/5

So, our new question is : 3/4 × 12/5

Multiply the numerators (top numbers) with one another.

Numerators : (3 × 12) = 36

Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) with one another.

Denominators : (4 × 5) = 20

So, our answer is 36/20

However, we need this to be a mixed number.

So, how many times does 20 go into 36? Once!

So, Multiply 20 with 1, and then subtract that number from 36! :)

20 × 1 = 20

36 - 20 = 16

So, our answer is :

1 16/20

Then, you simplify it once more.

Divide the numerator and denominator by 4.

16 ÷ 4 = 4

20 ÷ 4 = 5

So, our final answer is 1 4/5

~Hope I helped!~
