(6/13)/(6/12)= (6/13)*(12/6)= 12/13
This rule for division applies to all fraction divisions
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 7) - 3 = 5 (given)
2x + 14 - 3 = 5 (Distributive Property)
2x + 14 = 8 (Addition Property of Equality)
2x = -6 (Subtraction Property of Equality)
x = -3 (Division Property of Equality)
-7 is less than 16 because -7 goes behind 0 and 6 is a positive number
1/3 x 4/4 = 4/12
4/12 + 5/12 = 9/12
12/12 - 9/12 = 3/12
3/12 = 1/4
