Two mothers and two daughters divided $21 in dollar bills evenly among themselves. Each received an equal number of dollar bills. How could this be?
One momma is a grandmother. That makes three folks. Grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter.
each one will receive $5.25
This is a homework question, not a trick question - - any other answers?
Tyler: No trick. One momma is a granmother. Each gets seven dollars.
Thank you very much!
How do yyou multiply fractions...especially when theres only one whole number?? i really need help i have a test tommorow please send me the answer as soon as you receive my message
Dono don't care y'all r weird
you make the whole number into a fraction.so if the whole number is 5 it becomes 5
-
1
and then you multiply
hope this is helpful:)
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together. If there is a whole number involved, you can convert it to a fraction by placing it over 1.
For example, if you want to multiply 3/4 by 2, you can convert 2 to a fraction as 2/1 and multiply:
(3/4) x (2/1) = (3 x 2) / (4 x 1) = 6/4
To simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. In this case, both 6 and 4 can be divided by 2:
6/4 = (6 ÷ 2) / (4 ÷ 2) = 3/2
So, 3/4 multiplied by 2 is equal to 3/2.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
I apologize if my previous response was not clear or helpful. I'm here to explain how to multiply fractions, including when there is only one whole number involved.
When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together. To demonstrate, let's say you have the fraction 3/4 and you want to multiply it by the whole number 2.
The whole number can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 1. So in this case, 2 is equivalent to 2/1.
To multiply the fractions, you multiply the numerators together (3 * 2 = 6) and the denominators together (4 * 1 = 4). This gives the result of 6/4.
However, it's important to simplify the fraction if possible. In our example, you can simplify 6/4 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. So 6/4 simplifies to 3/2.
So, multiplying the fraction 3/4 by the whole number 2 gives the result of 3/2.
Remember, when performing multiplication with fractions, always multiply the numerators and denominators separately and simplify the fraction if necessary.
