<span>To complete the steps to demonstrate why you multiply by the reciprocal when dividing fractions.

To find
\frac{1}{4}\div\frac{3}8}

Step 1:
Rewrite it as
\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{8}}.


Step 2:
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the reciprocal of
\frac{3}{8}.</span><span>

</span><span>\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{8}}=\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{8}}\times\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{\frac{8}{3}}


Step 3:
Simplify the denominator
\frac{\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{8}{3}}{1}                                                                 

Step 4:
Simplify the fraction
</span><span>\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{8}{3}.

We complete the solution as follows:
</span><span><span>\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{8}{3}=\frac{1\times8}{4\times3}\\ \\=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4\times2}{4\times3}=\frac{2}{3}</span></span>

Since the odd numbers are:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25


There are 13 odd numbers. From here you would multiply 25 times four to get 100 since there is 25 numbers. Then you would multiply 13, the number of odd numbers, by 4 as well and get 52. There is a 52% chance that a odd number will be picked.

-11-8-13(-10)

Then add and subtract from left to right.

-11-8= -19
-19+130=111

Final answer: 111
