<u>Step 1</u>
Convert mixed fractions into fractions
6 2/5 = (6*5)+2) / 5 = 32/5
2 2/3 = (2*3)+2) / 3 = 8/3
<u>Step 2</u>
32/5 ÷ 8 / 3 ; where 32/5 is the 1st fraction and 8/3 is the 2nd fraction
<u>Step 2 (A)</u>
Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction:
From 8/3 to 3/8
<u>Step 2 (B)</u>
Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
32/5 * 3/8 = (32*3) / (5*8) = 96/40
<u>Step 2 (C)</u>
Simplify the fraction
96/40 divide by 4 will become 24/10
24/10 divide 2 will become 12/5. The simplest fraction of 96/40
The unit rate is 12/5 = 2 2/5 revolutions per second
You would start by figuring out the distance the turtle swims every second by dividing 24 by 16.
24➗16=1.5
From this we can take the numbers from either T: 1, ___, 24, 45 or D: ___, 10, 16, ___ to figure out the blank spaces for the other using multiplication or division. Divide T by 1.5, or multiply D by 1.5 to find the other
T: 1, 15, 24, 45
D: 1.5, 10, 16, 30
2/3 is the answer because 6 in is the model and 4 ft is the actual
