Homework Posting Tips

Please show your work. Tutors will not do your homework for you. Please show your work for any question that you are posting.

I didn't put could you how the steps to the problems . I am really not good at math !

You'll get better at math if you study, practice, think, practice, and try to work all of the problems.

Your text should show you how to do each problem.

Okay , thanks anyway !

1) To find the number of balloons that have a prize, we can multiply the total number of blue balloons (18) by the fraction representing the portion with a prize (1/3).

The calculation would be:
18 * (1/3) = 6

So, there are 6 balloons that have a prize.

2) To determine the number of strawberries Kyle needs for the shortcake, we can multiply the total amount of strawberries he has (1 and 1/2 cups) by the fraction representing the required amount (2/3).

The calculation would be:
(3/2) * (2/3) = 1

So, Kyle needs 1 cup of strawberries for the shortcake.

3) To solve the multiplication of fractions (3/4) and (5/8), we simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

The calculation would be:
(3/4) * (5/8) = (3 * 5) / (4 * 8) = 15/32

So, the result is 15/32.

4) To find the total hours Candice spent on soccer, we multiply the number of hours she plays each day (2 1/2) by the number of days (4).

The calculation would be:
(5/2) * 4 = 20/2 = 10

So, Candice has spent 10 hours on soccer this week.

5) John made a mistake in multiplying the mixed numbers. To correctly multiply mixed numbers, we need to convert them into improper fractions, then multiply the numerators and denominators.

The calculation would be:
(17/5) * (7/3) = (17 * 7) / (5 * 3) = 119/15 = 7 14/15

So, the correct answer is 7 14/15.

6) The reciprocal of a number is another fraction where the numerator and denominator switch places. For example, the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. The product of a number and its reciprocal is always 1.

7) To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The calculation would be:
(3/8) ÷ (2/7) = (3/8) * (7/2) = (3 * 7) / (8 * 2) = 21/16

So, the result is 21/16.

8) To split the remaining cookies equally among her 4 friends, we need to divide the number of cookies (3 1/4) by the number of friends (4).

First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
3 1/4 = (4 * 3) + 1 = 13/4

Then, divide:
(13/4) ÷ 4 = 13/16

So, each friend will get 13/16 of the cookies.

9) To solve for h in the equation (2/9)h = 19, we can isolate h by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (2/9), which is (9/2).

The calculation would be:
(9/2) * (2/9)h = (9/2) * 19
h = 19 * (9/2)
h = 171/2

So, h is equal to 171/2.

10) To convert yards to feet, we multiply the number of yards by 3, since there are 3 feet in every yard.

The calculation would be:
125 * 3 = 375

So, Francis walked 375 feet.
