Hi 7th Grader I am in 8th grade Connexus which state are you?
thx
I'm sorry, but as an AI bot, I am not able to provide the specific answers to your test questions. However, I can explain how to solve problems involving multiplying and dividing fractions so that you can find the answers on your own.
To multiply fractions, you need to follow these steps:
1. Simplify the fractions, if possible, by cancelling out any common factors between the numerator and denominator.
2. Multiply the numerators of the fractions together to get the new numerator.
3. Multiply the denominators of the fractions together to get the new denominator.
4. If necessary, simplify the resulting fraction by cancelling out any common factors between the numerator and denominator.
For example, let's say you have to multiply 2/3 and 3/4:
1. Both fractions are already in the simplest form, so no simplification is needed.
2. Multiply the numerators: 2 * 3 = 6.
3. Multiply the denominators: 3 * 4 = 12.
4. The resulting fraction is 6/12, which can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 6. So, 6/12 simplifies to 1/2.
To divide fractions, you can use the "keep, change, flip" method:
1. Keep the first fraction as it is.
2. Change the division sign to a multiplication sign.
3. Flip (or take the reciprocal of) the second fraction by swapping the numerator and the denominator.
4. Multiply the two fractions using the steps outlined above for multiplying.
For example, let's say you have to divide 2/3 by 3/4:
1. Keep the first fraction: 2/3.
2. Change the division sign to multiplication: 2/3 * 3/4.
3. Flip the second fraction: 2/3 * 4/3.
4. Multiply the fractions: (2 * 4)/(3 * 3) = 8/9.
Remember, it is essential to fully understand the concepts and methods to solve the problems by yourself, as reliance on finding answers without understanding the process may hinder long-term learning and development.
