Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: To find the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3, we first need to convert 1 and 2/3 to an improper fraction.
To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.
So here, we multiply the denominator, 3, times the whole number, 1, then we add the numerator. So we have (3 x 1) + 2 or 3 + 2 which is 5.
Now we put our new number over our old denominator and we get 5/3.
However, we're not done yet. We still need to find the reciprocal.
The reciprocal describes a fraction so when we're asked to find the reciprocal of 5/3, we want to switch the numerator and denominator.
So if we switch 5/3, we get the proper fraction 3/5.
Therefore, the mixed number 1 and 2/3 is equivalent to the improper fraction 5/3, and if we switch the top and bottom numbers, we get 3/5.
There are 1000 milliliters per liter, so...
750 ml x 1 liter/1000 ml =
750/1000 = .75 liters
Let's say that Stan invested $1500 at 6%. To find how much he invested at 4.5% would be 5000 - 1500 = $3500. Now we have a pattern. Now let's say stan invested x dollars. Even though it is unknown, we can set up how much is left. So subtract x from 5000 or 5000 - x which is C
Answer:
5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The question in English is
A tank is filled with water daily to give water to the animals on a farm. As required, 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses and 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs. The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets. What is the fraction of the water that pets receive to drink?
1) 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses
At this point in the tank there are 1-3/8=5/8 of the water of the tank
2) 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs
At this point in the tank there are
(1-1/3)*5/8
(2/3)(5/8)=10/24 of the water of the tank
3) The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets
The remainder is equal to 10/24
divided by 2
(10/24)/2=10/48
4) The fraction of the water that pets receive to drink is 10/48
simplify
10/48=5/24
