Remark
Start by figuring this out for 1 car. Worry about the 7 part when you find 1.
This problem is used quite frequently in physics. For example resistors in parallel use the same equation.
Formula
1/frank + 1/carla + 1/missy = 1/ time taken to do 1 mar.
Givens
Frank = 2 hours
Carla = 2 hours
Missy = 3 hours.
Substitute and Solve
1/2 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 1/Three_together.
3/6 + 3/6 + 2/6 = 1/Three_together.
8/6 = 1/Three_together. Cross multiply
8 * Three_Together = 6*1
8 * Three_Together = 6 Divide by 8
Three_Together = 6/8 = 3/4 = 0.75 hours. or 45 minutes for 1 car
Seven Cars
For 7 cars multiply 0.75 by 7
7 * 0.75 = 5.25 hours. <<<< Answer
Answer:
360
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 90 and 4
When given two fractions for example 2/3 divided by 3/6
the division sign changes to a multiplication sign and the fraction on the right swaps the numerator and the denominator so 3/6 becomes 6/3
so it will then be 2/3 x 6/3 and you get your answer
thats how you divide fractions
