Question

What is 3 4/5 / 2 3/8? (simplified). I know you have to turn it into multiplication, doesn't that mean you have to flip them (3 5/4 and 2 8/3?) I got to there, multiplied, and got stuck on the reducing.


Also. Any help with

3 - 7
_________
-6 - (-7)

Answer 1

Convert the mixed number to improper fractions

3 4/5 / 2 3/8 =

19/5 / 19/8 =

19/5 x 8/19 =

The 19 cancell

8/5

- - - - - - - - - s-

Answer 2

Mixed fractions are useless in math, so convert them to improper fractions first. That gives you (19/5)/(19/8). Then yes, you flip the second one, because division is multiplication by the recipricol. Thus 19/5*8/19. The 19s cancel out leaving you with 8/5.

On your second question, 3-7=-4 in the numerator. In the denominator -6-(-7) is the same thing as -6+7 which equals 1. Since 1 is in the denominator, you can leave it out so your answer is -4.

Answer 3

change the numbers to fractions.

3 4/5 = 19/5

2 3/8 = 19/8

19/5 / 19/8 = 19/5 * 8/19

19/19 = 1 so they cancel and left with 8/5 = 1 3/5


3-7=-4

-6- (-7)= -6+7= 1

Answer 4

Question 1.
3 4/5 = [ (3*5) + 4 ] / 5 = 19/5....................(A)
So also 2 3/8 = 19/8..................................(B)
Now, A / B = (19/5) / (19/8)
=(19/5) * (8/19)
=8/5 = 1 3/5 (Answer)

Question 2.
Numerator = 3 -7 = -4
Denominator = -6- (-7) = -6+7 = 1
That gives Numerator/Denominator as -4/1 = -4 (Answer)

Answer 5

no u do not turn both of them over ....this is how u do it
U change it into ..3.4/5=19/5
2.3/8=19/8

19/5 divided by19/8
u switch onli the first one
5/19x19/8=5/8

Is this want u wanted?


Okay question 2
3-7= -4
-6-(-7)=

the minus before the ( must multiply with the one on the inside of the bracket

So,u get -6+7 because minus x minus = +
-6+7=1

now u divide
-4 divided by 1 = -4
Got it??
Sry if it is a little confusing try to understand...

Answer 6

You need to change your fractions from mixed numbers, those won't work.

3 4/5 -> 19/5 --> 3 * 5 + 4 is the new numerator
2 3/8 -> 19/8

19/5 * 8/19

19's cancel out

8/5 is your answer

Answer 7

3 4/5 = 19/5
2 3/8 = 19/8

so, 19/5 / 19/8 = 8/5 (multipy top and bottom by 8/19)

2) 3-7 = -4; -6+7 = 1 , -4/1 = -4

Answer 8

lol. u've got me off my chair to look for a scratch paper.

3 4/5 = 19/5
_____ ____

2 3/8 19/8

=> 19/5 (8/19) = 8/5 = 1 3/5



3 - 7
____
-6 -(-7)

= -4
____
1


= -4

Answer 9

3 4/5
_____=?
2 3/8

then it is basicly,

(3*5)+4
______
5
_____________

(2*8)+3
_______
8

and it equals to

19/5
_________ = 8/5=1,6
19/8

and second question equals to the following

3 - 7
_________ = -4/1= -4
-6 - (-7)

Answer 10

try to change the mixed number into an improper fraction:

after that go on into dividing fractions:

in dividing fractions always invert the denominator and multiply the inverted denominator to the numerator...

after you got the product if it's an improper fraction simplify it by making it into a mixed number ^^,
