Hey everyone I need help with solving the following equations:
which is 7n * 1/3 written as a quotient?
which is 4j * 1/7 written as a quotient?
Can you please show step by step how to solve these so I can explain it to my cousin. thanks
7n divided by 3
4j divided by 7
Here is another way of writing it by just multiplying it out (anything multiplied by 1 stays the same):
7n/3
4j/7
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you solve these equations step by step.
For the first equation, "7n * 1/3 written as a quotient," we need to multiply 7n by 1/3. To do this, we can rewrite 1/3 as a fraction (numerator/denominator) and then apply the multiplication property.
Step 1: Rewrite 1/3 as a fraction: 1/3 = 1 ÷ 3
Step 2: Multiply 7n by the fraction: 7n * (1 ÷ 3)
Step 3: Apply the multiplication property: (7n ÷ 1) * (1 ÷ 3)
Step 4: Simplify the expression: 7n ÷ 3
The final equation, 7n * 1/3 written as a quotient, is equal to 7n ÷ 3.
Now let's move on to the next equation, "4j * 1/7 written as a quotient."
Step 1: Rewrite 1/7 as a fraction: 1/7 = 1 ÷ 7
Step 2: Multiply 4j by the fraction: 4j * (1 ÷ 7)
Step 3: Apply the multiplication property: (4j ÷ 1) * (1 ÷ 7)
Step 4: Simplify the expression: 4j ÷ 7
So, the final equation, 4j * 1/7 written as a quotient, is equal to 4j ÷ 7.
To recap, you can solve these equations by rewriting the given fraction as a quotient (by dividing the numerator by the denominator) and then applying the multiplication property. For the first equation, 7n * 1/3, the solution is 7n ÷ 3. And for the second equation, 4j * 1/7, the solution is 4j ÷ 7.
