Answer:

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the fractions if needed.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction (flip it) then multiply the fraction any way you like, then simplify

Answer:

12(3y+2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to give an expression that represents the total cost of shorts for the players.

He is ordering 2 pairs of short and 3 shirts. Hence, per player, he would be spending the following:

2 pairs of shorts at x dollars each. Cost here is just $2x

3 shirts at y per one. Cost is $3y

Per player he is spending a total of 3y + 2x

Now, there are people to cater for. The total amount to spend will now be 12(3y + 2z )

Ben needs 1 3/8 feet of fabric to make one banner. How many banners can he make from 4 1/2 yards of fabric?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

x = 9.818

x≈10

The number of banners that can be made are 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the knowledge of proportion to solve this.

First we need to convert yard to feet.

1 yard = 3 foot

4 1/2 yard = y

cross-multiply

y = 4 1/2 × 3

=9/2 × 3

y = $\frac{27}{2}$ feet

This implies 4 1/2 yards = $\frac{27}{2}$ feet

Let x be the numbers of banners needed to make from 4 1/2 yards of fabric.

1 3/8 feet = 1 banner

$\frac{27}{2}$ feets = x

cross multiply

1 3/8 × x = $\frac{27}{2}$

$\frac{11x}{8}$ = $\frac{27}{2}$

cross-multiply

22x = 216

Divide both-side of the equation by 22

22x/22 = 216/22

x = 9.818

x≈10

The number of banners that can be made are 10
