When you are dividing fractions you just flip the second fraction upside down and multiply the two fractions
So the first is
½ x 6/1 = 6/2 = 3
For the second you write them as improper fractions then do the same
So it is
3/2 / 1/8 = 3/2 x 8/1 = 24/2 = 12
So the answer to the first question is 3 and the second is 12
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary = 3x (3 times Carey)
Carey = x
Barry = x/2 (Because Carey read twice as many as Barry, it means he read half the amount Carey did)
3x + x + x/2 = 405
4x + x/2 = 405
8x/2 + x/2 (treat these as fractions) = 405
9x/2 = 405
9x = 810 (cross multiply)
x = 90
Mary = 3(90) 270
Carey = 90
Barry = 90/2 45
Mary - Barry
270 - 45 = 225
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
1/16 of the class are left handed boys but we do not know the amount of left handed girls so we cannot be sure.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16
there is still no way to be sure of how many girls are left handed so you should probably make a note by the problem so the mistake on the test will be realized
