First, change the mixed fraction into improper fraction
1 1/7 = 7/7 + 1/7 = 8/7
(4/7)/(8/7)
To solve, flip the second fraction, and change the division into multiplication
(4/7)/(8/7) = (4/7) x (7/8)
Multiply, and simplify
(4/7) x (7/8) = 28/56, or 1/2
1/2 is your answer
hope this helps
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
8
Discussion:
Let the number be "n". Then the question states that
3n - 15 = (n/2) + 5 => multiply both sides by 2
6n - 30 = n + 10 => subtract n from both sides
5n - 30 = 10 => add 30 to both sides
5n = 30 + 10 = 40 => divide both sides by 5
n = 40/5 = 8
Thank you,
