Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This method consists of multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and then writing the answer in the resulting fraction’s numerator.

Next, we multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction, and then write the answer in the resulting fraction’s denominator*.

Lastly, we simplify the final fraction.

For example, in order to divide the fraction

dividing fractions

We multiply the numerator of the first fraction (3) by the denominator of the second fraction (10). This gives us the numerator for the final fraction: 3 x 10 = 30.

Next, we multiply the denominator of the first fraction (4) by the numerator of the second fraction (6). This gives us the denominator of the final fraction: 4 x 6 = 24.

dividing fractions

The last step is to simplify the fraction. Since both numbers are multiples of 6, we can divide the numerator and denominator by 6.

30 ÷ 6 = 5

24 ÷ 6 = 4

Therefore, the result of the division is 5/4.

Method 2 of dividing fractions: Inverting and multiplying

Step 1: Invert the second fraction. That is, swap the numerator for the denominator.

Step 2: Simplify any numerator with any denominator.

Step 3: Multiply across.

For example, we are going to divide:

dividing fractions

Step 1: We invert the second fraction 6/4. This becomes 4/6.

Step 2: We simplify the numerators with the denominators.

Numerators are:

12 = 2 x 2 x 3

4 = 2 × 2

Denominators are:

5 = 5

6 = 2 × 3

We can simplify both from numerator and denominator a 2 and a 3. We call this process “cross canceling” if one numerator has a common factor with the other denominator.

And we multiply across:

For dividing you keep the first fraction as is but with the second one you switch the top and bottom denominator and multiply those.

For Example if my equation was 7/9 divided by 4/5 then you would do 7/9 X 5/4 = 35/36

ad-work [718]

Answer:

A dilation with a scale factor of One-fourth and then a translation

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot points A, B, C, D, A', B, C' and D' on the coordinate plane and draw quadrilaterals ABCD and A'B'C'D'.

These quadrilaterals are similar and quadrilateral a'B'C'D' has sides 4 times smaller than quadrilateral ABCD.

This means that the dilation with a scale factor of one-fourth was performed.

The figures were not rotated (they have the same positions), so the second transformation was translation.

Hence, correct option is B: a dilation with a scale factor of One-fourth and then a translation

Can somebody help me first answer gets brainiest pls help
damaskus [11]
Answer: I believe the answer is 216 Square units.

Explanation:
1. Cut the shape in half. Now you have a square and a triangular shape.

2. The square is 12 inches on all four sides. 12 • 12 = 144. 144 is the area for the square.

3. Now, the triangular shape. The bottom of the shape is 12 because we divided the total 24 in half with the square. The left side (the longer side) of the shape is also 12 because it is parallel to the square with 12 as the same measurement. The right side (the shorter side) of the shape is 6 because it's half the size of the square’s length. The length of the top of the shape is also 12 because it is half of the square’s width of 24.

4. Now that we have found the measurements of the triangular shape, we can multiply (length • width) and add. The square is 144 units (12•12=144) and the triangular shape is 72 (12•6=72). 144 + 72= 216.

I hope this helps! :)
