What is 18 divided by 2/3?

pishuonlain [190]

Division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3= $\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} }$
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so

$\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } times \frac{ \frac{3}{2} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{ \frac{54}{2} }{ \frac{6}{6} }= \frac{27}{1}=27$

the answe ris 27

If Sandy's cookie recipe calls for 1/3 cup of brown sugar and she increases it to 2/9, how much brown sugar does she use?

expeople1 [14]

If you divide 9/2 you receive 4.5. Tho when you divide 1/3 you get .33333 (repeated), so now you know that both the fractions do not correlate. Now the 'multiples' of 1/3 are 2/ 6, 3/9, 4/12, 5/15, 6/18, 7/21 and so on. If you do the 'multiples' of 2/9 you get 4/18, 6/27. The common factors are 4/18 and 6/18. So know you know that Sandy is using 2/18 (or 1/9) cups more of sugar.
