12/15÷1/5
when dividing fractions, all you have to do is multiply the first number by the second number's reciprocal
(reciprocal is denominator over numerator)
12/15÷1/5
12/15×5/1
remember when multiplying fractions it's the the two numerators multiplied together over the two denominators multiplied
12/15×5/1
60/15
4
The answer is 4
Answer: Choice B. Opposite/hypotenuse
The "opposite" refers to the leg that is furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The longest side is directly across from the 90 degree angle.
That comes to 225.65 / 6.25
= 36.1 hours
Remember that there are 16 cups in a gallon.
The pipe leaks 1.5 cups each day, so in one week, or 7 days, the cup leaks 1.5 times 7 cups, which equates to 10.5 cups per week.
To find this number in gallons, divide 10.5 by 16.
This equals .65625 gallons per week.
Hope this helps!
