Hey There! Whoever we see the keyword “of”, we know that it’s multiplication Therefore we’re multiplying 1/3 and 7/1 that gives us 7/3
Answer: 37 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
14/1÷3/8=?
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
14/1 × 8/3=?
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
14×8/1×3 = 112/3
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
112/3
is the same as
112÷3
Convert to a mixed number using
long division so
112/3=37 1/3
Therefore:
14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3
Arranging the given distances from sea level on the number line, we have;
- The error made by taking Egypt as being further from the sea level is assuming that the sea level is at the beginning (left) of the number line.
<h3>How can the number line be used to find the distance from the sea level?</h3>
The given elevation of the lowest points in the six countries are;
Country. Lowest point elevation (m)
China. →. -154
Egypt →. -133
Azerbaijan → -28
Serbia. →. 35
Israel. → -408
Laos. →. 70
Sorting the above countries from the country with the lowest point below sea level to the country with the highest point above sea level gives;
Israel → -408
China → -154
Egypt → -133
Azerbaijan → -28
Serbia. → 35
Laos. →. 70
On a number line, we have;
Israel < China < Egypt < Azerbaijan < Serbia < Laos
Relative to zero, which is the sea level, points -133 and -154 are located to the left of zero.
However, point -133 > -154, therefore, -154 < -133, the symbol < represents lesser (in this case 'lower') which indicates that China (point -154) is lower or further left from zero which is the sea level than Egypt (point -133).
The error is therefore mistaking the location of the sea level as being at the extreme left of the number line, rather than at the middle.
