How do you do dividing fraction?

When finding the quotient of two fractions, the first thing you should do is to find the inverse fraction of the second fraction, and then switch the division sign to a multiplication sign.
Ex: 4/5 divided by 1/6 becomes 4/5 x 6/1
Then you find the least common denominator, which in this case, is 5. Multiply the 6/1 (as that is the only fraction needed to find the common denominator; the other fraction already has one) by 5/5 to get 5.
Ex: 4/5 x (6/1 x 5/5)
Now multiply the numerators and denominators of 6/1 and 5/5 with each other.
Ex: 4/5 x 30/5
Now multiply the numerators of these fractions by each other.
Ex: <u>4 x 30
</u><u />          5
Now: <u>120</u>
            5
If you need to simplify and get a mixed fraction, then do so. But this is just dividing the two fractions to get the "base number".

I hope this helps, please Brainliest me, and have a great day! :D

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The
Delvig [45]

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total boxes shipped = 21

Total volume of shipped boxes = 342 cubic feet

Volume of each small box = 10 cubic feet

Volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet

Let,

Number of small boxes = x

Number of large boxes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=21     Eqn 1

10x+22y=342    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=21)\\10x+10y=210\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(10x+22y)-(10x+10y)=342-210\\10x+22y-10x-10y=132\\12y=132

Dividing both sides by 12

\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{132}{12}\\y=11

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

x+11=21\\x=21-11\\x=10

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

What is the value of y?<br><br> Enter your answer, as an exact value, in the box.
Amanda [17]
So for the 40-40-90 degree triangle, whenever the two legs are x values, then the hypotenuse is x value times the square root of 2.

--> a changed into a√2
√2 changed in √2 * √2
= 2

So the hypotenuse of the 40-40-90 degree triangle is 2.

Now for the 30-60-90 degree triangle, the smallest leg with the value of x is then changed to the value of x√3 if finding the longer leg.

-> a is changed to a√3
2 is changed into 2√3


So, y is 2√3 or approximately 3.46 units.
