Answer:
well, the answer sure is an answer!
Answer:
1/20 because it has no effect so it would always be the smallest fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
You would need two bottles, because 4 ounces is the same as 24 teaspoons, so if you buy two bottles for 30 teaspoons you will have 18 teaspoons left (3 ounces) I hope this helps!
Okay, so it might be a little difficult to explain it but here we go:
You find the LCD (lowest common denominator) and multiply the top and bottom half of the fraction by the LCD:
(1/x) times xy (since it is divisible by both x and y)
then you do the same for the bottom (2/y) times xy
The x's on the top cancel out leaving you with 1/y
The y's on the bottom cancel out leaving you with 2/x
So now you multiple the top half (numerator) by the reciprocal of the denominator. In other words, multiply (1/y) by (x/2).
The answer is x/2y
