Hello There!

To multiply fractions, you first want to line up the numerator and the denominator together so they line up with each other.

Next, you want to multiply across. This includes multiplying the numerators together and then multiplying the denominators together.

Finally, you want to find the greatest common factor but only if the fraction can be simplified.

That Is How To Multiply Fractions

TO DIVIDE FRACTIONS,

First, you want to leave the first fraction alone but the second fraction, switch the numerator and denominator so the numerator is now on bottom and the denominator is now on top.

Next, complete the same steps for multiplication multiply across and simplify.

To multiply, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

Example: 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8

To divide, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.

Example: 1/2 / 3/4 -> 1/2 x 4/3 = 4/6

At work, Elon takes a break 1/5​​ of each hour he works. He also takes a lunch break for 1/2​​ of an hour each day he works. Elo
Anton [14]

Answer:

h=50\ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the number of hours, Elon works during one 5​-day work week

we know that

12\frac{1}{2}\ h=\frac{12*2+1}{2}=\frac{25}{2}\ h

Elon’s break time must be equal to 1/2​​ of an hour multiplied by 5 days plus  1/5​​ multiplied by the total hours h

so

\frac{25}{2}=5(\frac{1}{2})+\frac{1}{5}h

Solve for h

Multiply by 10 both sides to remove the fraction

125=25+2h

2h=125-25

2h=100

h=50\ hours

Dexter has 83 tiles left over from tiling his bathroom floor and he would like to use them to tile the front entrance of his hou
creativ13 [48]

Answer: [0, 396]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the acceptable values of x in the function.  In this case, x = t, the number of tiles.  If you think about it, the minimum number of tiles is 0 (you can't have a negative number of tiles), and the maximum number of tiles is 44 (you only have 44 tiles).  So, the domain for this function is from 0 to 44.

0 to 44 written in interval notation is [0,44].

The range is the acceptable values of y in the function.  In this case, y = A, the area given.  A(t) = 9t, so you can use the acceptable values of t to get the range.  Again, the minimum area is 0 because you can't have negative area. To find the maximum area, plug in the maximum number of tiles: 9.

A(t) = 9t

A = 9(44)

A = 396

With the maximum number of tiles, 44, the area you get is 396 cm².  Therefore, the acceptable values of A are from 0 to 396.

0 to 396 written in interval notation is [0, 396].
