Answer:

Dividing a whole number by a fraction you would just multiply the bottom number of the fraction by the whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

(here is how to divide a fraction by a whole number, if you need help on that also.)

1. Turn the whole number into a fraction. ( ex: 2=2/1)

2. Multiply the fraction by the whole number fraction.

3. Multiply the tops together and the bottoms together

Dividing A Fraction By A Fraction

1. Arrange the equation

2. Keep the first fraction

3. Change the sign

4. flip the fraction

5. Multiply the tops together and the bottoms together

3. At a bargain store, Jamal bought 2 items that each cost the same amount. Isaiah bought 3 items that each cost the same amount

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$6.75 and $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Jamal spent:

Isaiah spent:

3 (x - 2.25)

The equation is:

2x = 3(x - 2.25)

b) Solving the equation

2x = 3x - 6.75
3x - 2x = 6.75
x = 6.75

c) Jamal's items cost

$6.75 each

Isaiah's items cost

$6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each

Not sure how I would solve this

suter [353]

<h3>Answers:</h3>

The first ordered pair is ( -4 , -3 )

The second ordered pair is ( 8, 3 )

=================================================

Explanation:

The first point is (x,-3) where x is unknown. It pairs up with y = -3 so we can use algebra to find x

x-2y = 2

x-2(-3) = 2 ... replace every y with -3; isolate x

x+6 = 2

x = 2-6

x = -4

The first point is (-4, -3)

---------------------------

We'll do something similar for the other point. This time we know x but don't know y. Plug x = 8 into the equation and solve for y

x-2y = 2

8-2y = 2

-2y = 2-8

-2y = -6

y = -6/(-2)

y = 3

The second point is (8, 3)

Simplify using the distributive property. 5 Marks 1/5(4m+20) 9(5/9 y-1/3)

Zarrin [17]

Answer+Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{5} \left( 4m+20\right) =\frac{4}{5}m + \frac{20}{5} = \frac{4}{5}m + 4$

$9\left( \frac{5}{4} y-\frac{1}{3} \right) =\frac{9\times5}{9} y-\frac{9}{3} = 5y - 3$
