Divide amount of grapes by number of people.
= 1/2 lb ÷ 4 people
to divide a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal (inverse)
= 1/2 * 1/4
= (1*1)/(2*4)
= 1/8 pound
ANSWER: Each of the 4 people will get 1/8 pound of grapes.
Hope this helps! :)
16.24 ÷ 1,000 = 0.01624
Good luck! <3
Answer:
when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply
What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:
8/x=14/7
you would take 14*x and 8*7
14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)
x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)
8/4=14/7
To check your work you could simplify
8/4=2
14/7=2
2=2, which is true
x=4
Hope this helps ;)
First you would turn it into long division then you would just divide from there it is pretty easy
2 days late, but the answer is no solution. solving a system of equations means finding where they intersect, but by looking at these equations, you know that they never intersect--they're parallel.
they share a slope (2), making them either parallel or "the same line", but the different x-intercepts (9 and -9) mean that they're different lines. they have no solution, or no intersection point, because they're parallel lines.
