Find 1 1/4 on the number line and count back 3/4 (why it is negative) answer is 1/2.
Answer:
D. 18.68
Step-by-step explanation:

Applying PEMDAS as order of operations.
Solving the exponents first ![[(\frac{2}{5})^2=\frac{4}{25}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%29%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%5D)

Multiplying ![[53\times \frac{4}{25}=8.48]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B53%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%3D8.48%5D)

Dividing ![[27\div \frac{5}{3}=16.2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B27%5Cdiv%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%3D16.2%5D)

Adding and subtracting.

Answer:
14,15,16
Step-by-step explanation:
a+a+1 +a+2=45
3a+3 =45
3a=45-3
3a=42
a=42:3 =14(the first number
14+1=15 (the second number
14+2=16 (the third number, the largest number
When finding the reciprocal, it is basicaly flipping the numerator and denominator of the number. For instance, the reciporcal of 2 is 1/2, because the denominator of 2 would be 1. For an example more straight forward, the reciporacle of 3/5 is 5/3. This applied to the question goes as followed.
1. 3/5 is 5/3
2. 1/4 is 4
3. 1 is 1
Similarly when dividing fractions or an integer to a fraction, the fraction that is dividing the number turns into the reciprocal then you would multiply.
4. 3/(3/4) is 3*4/3= 4
5. 5/(3/4) is 5*(4/3)= 20/3
6. 8/(4/7) is 8*(7/3)= 56/3
7. 6/(3/5) is 6*(5/3)= 10
8. 2/(5/8) is 2*(8/5)= 16/5
9. 4/(8/9) is 4*(9/8)= 9/2
