It isn't at all!
When dividing numbers, the easiest way is to imagine the values as a fraction, and then reduce that fraction. If it reduces to a core fraction (ones that you should know their decimal value without thinking), then you have your answer.

We simplified our fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4, which left us with

, which we know is equal to
0.8.
You may be confused thinking that 0.8 is the same as 8. 0.8 is actually a tenth of the value of 8. This makes them very different values.
Below, I have also included a picture to help you memorize your common/core fractions. I recommend learning these as they will help you get through all sorts of math, from Geometry to Calculus!
Make two equations representing the position of each animal, p and k, for the puppy and kitten respectively.
p=25t and k=180+20t
The puppy will catch the kitten when p=k so we can say:
25t=180+20t subtract 20t from both sides
5t=180 divide both sides by 5
t=36
So the puppy will catch the kitten after 36 seconds.
Answer:
alligator mator
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: unknown number
Doing the multiplication we have:

From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

Therefore, we have:
Answer:
7 times 1/7 equals 1
Answer:
Hi!
First you would start at -4 on the x-axis, then you would move up 3 spaces and put your point there.
The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line.
I hope this helps you!
