There are 16 ounces in one pound, how many scoops are in 10 pounds?
Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions.
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.
14/15 * 5/2
Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3
*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.
Steps in Dividing fractions.
24/60 ÷ 8/15
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.
Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.
Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.
24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4
360 ÷ 40 = 9 ; 9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4
I would say 12 hours and 38 min
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rule for rounding:</u>
- Round up if number is between 5 and 9
- Round down if number is between 0 and 4
<u>What numbers in hundredths can be rounded to 14.5?</u>
and
<u>From above we see that:</u>
- The greatest decimal is 14.54
- The least decimal is 14.45
11 miles in 1/4 hour
1/4 of an hour is 15 minutes
so 11 in 15 minutes
x /60 = 11/15
cross multiply
x*15 = 60 * 11
15x = 660
divide both sides by 15
x = 44
the unit rate of the hikers in miles per hour is 44 mph.
You can also solve like this
1/4 of hour is 15 minutes
to get to the whole hour you would multiply by four
so you'd (11miles in 1/4 hour) * 4
44 miles in 1 hour
Hope this helps :)
