You're looking for 2/9 of 3/6 which means you are solving 3/6 ÷ 2/9.

When I was in sixth grade, my teacher always said "Dividing fractions, easy as pie. Flip the second and multiply." At the time, I thought I was too old for stuff like that, but now, I'm in ninth grade, and I haven't forgotten it. If you learn one thing, learn fractions, and learn them well because they never leave.

Anyway, 3/6 ÷ 2/9 becomes 3/6 × 9/2. Another thing from my teacher: "Multiplying fractions, no big problem. Top times top over bottom times bottom." So, 3 × 9 = 27 and 6 × 2 = 12. 27/12.

To make that a mixed number, do 27 ÷ 12. 12 goes in 2 times. This is the big number in your mixed number, your coefficient. Then you have 3 left over. (12 × 2 = 24. 27 - 24 = 3.) This is your numerator. And 12 is still your denominator.

Your answer is 2 3/12, which simplifies to 2 1/4.

What is the volume of the cuboid if it is 0.4cm x 1.5cm x 3.25cm

N76 [4]

Find the volume with the equation

v = length × width × height

For your cuboid

v = .4cm×1.5cm×3.25cm
v = 1.95 cm^3

Don't forget to always put your units!

Adam wants to compare the fractions 2 over 5, 1 over 6, and 1 over 3. He wants to order them from least to greatest and rewrite

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Least to greatest should be 1 over 6, 1 over 3, and then 2 over 5. least to greatest with the same denominator should be 5 over 30, 10 over 30, and 12 over 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the common denominator, which is 30. Then you want to figure out how you got to 30 and multiply that by nominator. after you have that all complete, then just sort from least to greatest. To listed from least to greatest is you take the smallest number, for example which would be 5 over 30 and then sorts continuously from the greater number as well, which would be 12 over 30

Determine the equation of straight line which passes through the point (a, b)and perpendicular to ax+by=5

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$y=\frac{b}{a} x.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if the required straight line is 'l', the given point is A(a;b), then the required equation of line can be written in form:

$\frac{x-a}{x_1-a} =\frac{y-b}{y_1-b},$

where (x₁;y₁) is other point B, which belongs to the 'l';

2) from the equation it is possible to detect the coordinates of the perpendicular, they are (x₁-a;y₁-b);

3) if the given perpendicular is ax+by=5, then the coordinates of the vector (a;b) are coordinates of the vector, which belongs to the required line 'l', and then: x₁-a=a and y₁-b=b;

4) if to substitute the a=x₁-a and b=y₁-b into the required equation of line 'l', then:

$\frac{x-a}{a} =\frac{y-b}{b};$
