Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing fractions, I use a method called Keep Change Flip. Let's use the example 1/2 divided by 3/4 as an example. First, you have to keep the first fraction the same. This is what you currently have: 1/2 / 3/4. Next, you have to change the divison sign into a multiplication symbol. Now, this is what it should look like: 1/2 x 3/4. Then, you have to flip the fraction 3/4 into 4/3. Now, you have 1/2 x 4/3. Multiply the fraction. If you don't know how to, multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. You should get 4/6. However, this isn't your final answer. You can simplify this by dividing by 2 to get 2/3. So, your answer is 2/3. Hope this helped you and let me know if you need more help! :D
In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
the Answer is (B) change in y/ change in x
Step-by-step explanation:
:DD
If Gary lost 17 pounds and gained 8 pound back, then we have
-17 pounds + 8 pounds = -9 pounds.
Therefore the additive inverse of the change in Gary's weight is 9 pounds.
That is, Gary lost 9 pounds of weight.
First we need to subtract $5 from both sides. That gives us the new equation 1.50p = 9. Then, divide 9 by 1.5, which gives you the answer. 9/1.5 = 6.
