(4/5) / 8....when ur dividing with fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply
4/5 * 1/8 = 4/40 reduces to 1/10 <=
im not sure i did it right but i tried 8 ^ 12
Answer:
As outdoor temperatures increased, residents' electric bills increased.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
so what i would like to do is what is 12 divid by 3 and when u get ur answer that it what the y is
If we have 420 books for every 7 shelves and are looking for how many books are on 4 shelves, we need to set up fractional proportions.
We have 7 shelves for every 420 books, so we will have our first fraction like this:
7/420.
We also have 4 shelves for every x books, so our second fraction will be 4/x.
Set these fractions up as an equation.
7/420 = 4/x
To solve for x, we need to cross multiply the numerators of one fraction with the denominators of the other fraction.
In other words, multiply the top number of one fraction by the bottom number of the other question.
It should look like this:
7(x)
420(4)
7(x) = 7x
420(4) = 1680
Set your products up as an equation.
7x = 1680
Now to solve for x, we need to simplify.
Currently, x is being multiplied by 7.
To get x alone, divide 7x by 7.
Remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other, so divide 1680 by 7.
7x / 7 = x
1680 / 7 = 240
You are left with:
x = 240.
For every 4 shelves you have 240 books.
I hope this helps!
