I need help not sure if I'm doing this correctly.
Parts of parts:
Find each of the following parts of parts without drawing a diagram for each problem explained clearly
A) 2/3 of 2/7
I think it's 4/15 because your multiplying.
B) 6/11 × 2/7
I think it's 12/77 your multiplying
C) 5/9 × 1.5
My answer is 2.7
Nope on a,c.
2/3 of 2/7=4/21
5/9 of 1.5=5/9 * 3/2=15/18=5/6
of means times. Numerator times numerator divided by denominator times denominator
Thank you
To find the parts of parts without drawing a diagram, you can follow these steps:
A) For the expression 2/3 of 2/7, you multiply the numerators (2 x 2) and the denominators (3 x 7) separately. So the calculation would be (2 x 2) / (3 x 7) = 4/21, not 4/15. Therefore, the correct answer is 4/21.
B) Similarly, for the expression 6/11 multiplied by 2/7, you multiply the numerators (6 x 2) and the denominators (11 x 7) separately. The calculation would be (6 x 2) / (11 x 7) = 12/77, which is the correct answer you provided.
C) In this case, you are multiplying a fraction (5/9) by a decimal (1.5). To multiply a fraction by a decimal, you can convert the decimal to a fraction by placing it over 1. So 1.5 becomes 1.5/1. Then you multiply the numerators (5 x 1.5) and the denominators (9 x 1) separately. The calculation would be (5 x 1.5) / (9 x 1) = 7.5/9, not 2.7. However, if you simplify 7.5/9, you get 5/6. So the correct answer is 5/6, not 2.7.
Remember, when multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators and denominators separately. And when multiplying fractions with decimals, convert the decimal to a fraction before multiplying.
