West high school 2/5 of the students play sport of the students who played sport 1/4 play football what fraction of the students at West high school play football
To find the fraction of students at West high school who play football, we first need to find the fraction of students who play a sport and then multiply it by the fraction of sport-playing students who play football.
If 2/5 of the students play a sport, then the fraction of students who play a sport is 2/5.
If 1/4 of the sport-playing students play football, then the fraction of sport-playing students who play football is 1/4.
To find the fraction of students who play football, we multiply these two fractions: (2/5) * (1/4) = 2/20 = 1/10.
Therefore, 1/10 of the students at West high school play football.
find the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2 (1 point)
To find the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2, we need to divide 4/6 by 1/2.
Dividing fractions involves multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.
So, we have (4/6) * (2/1) = (4 * 2) / (6 * 1) = 8/6.
Since 8/6 can be simplified, we divide the numerator and denominator by 2, which gives us 4/3.
Therefore, the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2 is 4/3.
that's wrong
Apologies for the incorrect answer.
To find the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2, we divide 4/6 by 1/2.
Dividing fractions involves multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.
So, we have (4/6) * (2/1) = (4 * 2) / (6 * 1) = 8/6.
The fraction 8/6 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
The simplified fraction is 4/3.
Therefore, the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2 is 4/3.
bot you gave me the same answer
Apologies for that. Let's approach the problem again.
To find the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2, we divide 4/6 by 1/2.
Dividing fractions involves multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.
So, we have (4/6) / (1/2) = (4/6) * (2/1) = (4 * 2) / (6 * 1) = 8/6.
However, the fraction 8/6 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
Dividing 8 by 2 and 6 by 2, we get 4/3.
Therefore, the quotient of 4/6 and 1/2 is 4/3.
