Do 7/8 divided by 3/16.
Multiply by the reciprocal of 3/16 which is 16/3
7/8 x 16/3= 112/24
Simplify by dividing by 8 on top and bottom
14/3
Change it into a mixed number
Answer is 4 2/3
Move the decimal place to the right if the exponent is positive, and left is the exponent is negative. Add additional zeros if needed.
Rewrite both fractions with a common denominator:
8/11 x 5 = 40/55
3/5 x 11 = 33/55
40/55 is greater than 33/55 so 8/11 is greater than 3/5
Area=legnth times width
we notice this is a special case
(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2
area=(a+3b)(a-3b)=a^2-9b^2
area=a^2-9b^2
