How do I simplify a fraction? For example if the question is 7 1/5 divided by 2 2/15 what would I do to simplify?

1 answer:

3 0

7 1/5:
Multiply the denominator and the whole number: 7*5 = 35 and then add the numerator: 35+1= 36/5. Then, do this for the following fraction, the improper fraction value of 2 2/15 is 32/15.
Now we need 36/5 & 32/15 to have common denominators so that we can simplify it a little less complicated.

For Instance,

36/5*3= 108/15

Now we divide, (108/15)/(32/15)
108/32= 3.375 = 3 3/8

Answer is 3 3/8.

Hope this was easy to understand!

There are 7 acts in a talent show.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Event A: 1/35

Event B: 1/840

Explanation:

Event A

For the event A, the order of the first 4 acts does not matter.

The number of different four acts taken from a set of seven acts, when the order does not matter, is calculated using the concept of combinations.

Thus, the number of ways that the first four acts can be scheduled is:

$C(m,n)=\dfrac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}$
