It helps to imagine the variable a sort of as a unit. Like with 5 minus 12 lemons, it has no bearings on the addition/subtraction here.
Factor out a and subtract.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solving in steps:</u>
- - 8 3/4 ÷ 2 1/6 =
- - 35/4 ÷ 13/6 =
- - 35/4 × 6/13 =
- - 35/2 × 3/13 =
- - 105/26 =
- - 4 1/26

<u>Step 1</u>
Convert mixed fractions into fractions
6 2/5 = (6*5)+2) / 5 = 32/5
2 2/3 = (2*3)+2) / 3 = 8/3
<u>Step 2</u>
32/5 ÷ 8 / 3 ; where 32/5 is the 1st fraction and 8/3 is the 2nd fraction
<u>Step 2 (A)</u>
Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction:
From 8/3 to 3/8
<u>Step 2 (B)</u>
Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
32/5 * 3/8 = (32*3) / (5*8) = 96/40
<u>Step 2 (C)</u>
Simplify the fraction
96/40 divide by 4 will become 24/10
24/10 divide 2 will become 12/5. The simplest fraction of 96/40
The unit rate is 12/5 = 2 2/5 revolutions per second
