Answer:
fraction 1 and 3 over 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2:3 is equal to 8 blocks
5:12 is equal to 5 blocks
if you divide them, the result is:
8/5 which is the same as 1 3/5
because 5 is contained 1 time in 8 and the rest is 3
8/15 x 5/6
•multiply across the numerator and denominator.
= 40/90
• then find a common factor that will go into both the numerator and denominator equally.
Common factor: 5
= 8/18
•there is another common factor, which is 2
Simplified:
=4/9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Next bit of info that we have is 424 miles. Miles go on the numerator, and gallons, which we will call "x" will go on the denominator. It should be set up like this: 265/10 = 424/x Once you cross multiply you should get 265x=4240. Divide 265 by both sides and the answer is 16 gallons. Sorry if its wrong
