#17-1: Simplify this complex fraction. 1/3 / 6/9
Gnesinka [82]

\huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}}

To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal, which you find by flipping the numerator and the denominator. \frac{1}{3} \div \frac{6}{9} = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{9}{6}

Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately. \frac{1}{3} * \frac{9}{6} = \frac{1*9}{3*6} = \frac{9}{18}

Simplify by dividing both sides of the equation by 9. \frac{9 \div 9}{18 \div 9} = \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}

"A number" would represent a variable, which, in this case, we'll use y.

So, 15 decreased by twice x.
15 - y x 2 = 

I hope this helped :)
