Well, hello there! I'm here to help you with your math questions, but I must say that I prefer telling jokes over providing straightforward answers. So, let's have some fun with your math problems!
#1 To find the product of 1/3 and 7, we simply multiply the numbers together: 1/3 * 7 = 7/3. So, the product is 7/3, which is about 2 and 1/3. But hey, why use fractions when you can have a delicious piece of pie instead?
#2 Ah, negative fractions! They can be a bit tricky. To multiply -7/9 and 3/5, simply multiply the numerators and denominators together: -7/9 * 3/5 = -21/45. Now, let's simplify that fraction. Both 21 and 45 are divisible by 3, so if we divide both by 3, we get -7/15. So, the product is -7/15. It's negative, but don't worry, I'm positively hilarious!
#3 Alright, let's divide 1/3 by 5/6. Now, when dividing fractions, we flip the divisor and then multiply: 1/3 ÷ 5/6 = 1/3 * 6/5. Now, to simplify that fraction, divide both 6 and 5 by 1: 1/3 * 6/5 = 6/15. Now, both 6 and 15 are divisible by 3, so if we divide both by 3, we get 2/5. So, the quotient is 2/5. Don't you just love when things divide evenly?
#4 Oh, division of fractions again! This time, we have 2 * 1/8 divided by 34: 2 * 1/8 ÷ 34. But wait, multiplying by a fraction is the same as dividing by its reciprocal, so we have 2 ÷ 8/1 * 34. Let's simplify a bit: 2 ÷ 8/1 * 34 = 2/1 * 34/8. Now, multiply the numerators and denominators together: 2 * 34/1 * 8 = 68/1 * 8. And finally, 68 divided by 8 is 8 and 1/2, so the quotient is 8 and 1/2. Woohoo, that's a tasty half sandwich!
#5 Negative fractions and division, oh my! Let's tackle -3/5 divided by -3/4. Like before, flip the divisor and multiply: -3/5 ÷ -3/4 = -3/5 * 4/-3. Simplify a bit by cancelling out the negatives: -3/5 * 4/-3 = 3/5 * 4/3. Multiply the numerators and denominators: 3 * 4/5 * 3 = 12/15. But wait, 12 and 15 are both divisible by 3, so if we divide both by 3, we get 4/5. So, the quotient is 4/5. Phew, what a journey of negatives!
#6 Oh, more division! This time, we have -4/5 divided by 8/9. Just like before, flip the divisor and multiply: -4/5 ÷ 8/9 = -4/5 * 9/8. Let's simplify a bit: -4/5 * 9/8 = -4/1 * 9/5 * 4/2. Multiply the numerators and denominators together: 4 * 9/1 * 5 * 2 = 36/10. Now, both 36 and 10 are divisible by 2, so if we divide both by 2, we get 18/5. So, the quotient is 18/5. Ain't that just a fraction of fun?
#7 Alright, divide and conquer! We have 3/5 divided by 9/10. Flip the divisor and multiply: 3/5 ÷ 9/10 = 3/5 * 10/9. Let's simplify a bit: 3/5 * 10/9 = 3/1 * 10/5 * 2/1. Multiply the numerators and denominators together: 3 * 10/1 * 5 * 2 = 30/10. Now, both 30 and 10 are divisible by 10, so if we divide both by 10, we get 3/1, which is just 3. So, the quotient is 3. That was a whole lot of dividing, but we did it!
#8 Last but not least! We have 4/7 divided by 9/14. Flip the divisor and multiply: 4/7 ÷ 9/14 = 4/7 * 14/9. Let's simplify a bit: 4/7 * 14/9 = 4/1 * 14/7 * 2/3. Multiply the numerators and denominators together: 4 * 14/1 * 7 * 3 = 56/21. But wait, both 56 and 21 are divisible by 7, so if we divide both by 7, we get 8/3. So, the quotient is 8/3. Divide and conquer, my friend!
I hope these humorous explanations bring a smile to your face, even if I didn't simply provide the answers in numerical form. If you have any more questions or if you want to hear a joke, feel free to ask!
#1 To find the product of 1/3 and 7, we simply multiply the numerators (1 and 7) to get 1 * 7 = 7, and multiply the denominators (3 and 1) to get 3 * 1 = 3. So, the product is 7/3.
#2 To find the product of -7/9 and 3/5, we multiply the numerators (-7 and 3) to get -7 * 3 = -21, and multiply the denominators (9 and 5) to get 9 * 5 = 45. So, the product is -21/45, which can be simplified to -7/15 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3.
#3 To find the quotient of 1/3 divided by 5/6, we multiply the dividend (1/3) by the reciprocal of the divisor (6/5). The reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5. So, the division becomes: 1/3 * 6/5 = (1 * 6) / (3 * 5) = 6/15. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. So, the simplified quotient is 2/5.
#4 To find the quotient of 2 * 1/8 divided by 34, we multiply the dividend (2 * 1/8 = 2/8) by the reciprocal of the divisor (1/34). So, the division becomes: (2/8) * (1/34) = 2/8 * 1/34 = (2 * 1) / (8 * 34) = 2/272. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. So, the simplified quotient is 1/136.
#5 To find the quotient of -3/5 divided by (-3/4), we multiply the dividend (-3/5) by the reciprocal of the divisor (-4/3). So, the division becomes: (-3/5) * (-4/3) = (3 * 4) / (5 * 3) = 12/15. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. So, the simplified quotient is 4/5.
#6 To find the quotient of -4/5 divided by 8/9, we multiply the dividend (-4/5) by the reciprocal of the divisor (9/8). So, the division becomes: (-4/5) * (9/8) = (-4 * 9) / (5 * 8) = -36/40. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. So, the simplified quotient is -9/10.
#7 To find the quotient of 3/5 divided by 9/10, we multiply the dividend (3/5) by the reciprocal of the divisor (10/9). So, the division becomes: (3/5) * (10/9) = (3 * 10) / (5 * 9) = 30/45. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 15. So, the simplified quotient is 2/3.
#8 To find the quotient of 4/7 divided by 9/14, we multiply the dividend (4/7) by the reciprocal of the divisor (14/9). So, the division becomes: (4/7) * (14/9) = (4 * 14) / (7 * 9) = 56/63. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 7. So, the simplified quotient is 8/9.
Sure! Let's solve each of these problems step by step:
#1 1/3 * 7:
To find the product, you simply multiply the numerators and denominators. The numerator is 1 * 7 = 7, and the denominator is 3. So the product is 7/3.
#2 -7/9 * 3/5:
Again, multiply the numerators and denominators. (-7) * 3 = -21, and 9 * 5 = 45. So the product is -21/45. To simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3 in this case. -21/45 simplifies to -7/15.
#3 1/3 / 5/6:
To divide fractions, you need to multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5. Now you can rewrite the division as multiplication: 1/3 * 6/5. Multiply the numerators and denominators: 1 * 6 = 6, and 3 * 5 = 15. So the product is 6/15. Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 3: 6/15 simplifies to 2/5.
#4 2 * 1/8 / 34:
First, divide the whole number by the denominator. The result is 2/8. Now, divide the numerator by 34. 2/8 divided by 34 is equal to (2 * 1/8) / 34 = 2/8 * 1/34. Multiply the numerators and denominators: 2 * 1 = 2, and 8 * 34 = 272. So the product is 2/272. Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 2: 2/272 simplifies to 1/136.
#5 -3/5 / (-3/4):
To divide fractions, we can multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So the reciprocal of -3/4 is -4/3. Rewrite the division as multiplication: -3/5 * -4/3. Multiply the numerators and denominators: (-3) * (-4) = 12, and 5 * 3 = 15. So the product is 12/15. Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 3: 12/15 simplifies to 4/5.
#6 -4/5 / 8/9:
Similarly, to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 8/9 is 9/8. Rewrite the division as multiplication: -4/5 * 9/8. Multiply the numerators and denominators: (-4) * 9 = -36, and 5 * 8 = 40. So the product is -36/40. Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 4: -36/40 simplifies to -9/10.
#7 3/5 / 9/10:
Again, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 9/10 is 10/9. Rewrite the division as multiplication: 3/5 * 10/9. Multiply the numerators and denominators: 3 * 10 = 30, and 5 * 9 = 45. So the product is 30/45. Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 15: 30/45 simplifies to 2/3.
#8 4/7 / 9/14:
Similarly, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 9/14 is 14/9. Rewrite the division as multiplication: 4/7 * 14/9. Multiply the numerators and denominators: 4 * 14 = 56, and 7 * 9 = 63. So the product is 56/63. Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 7: 56/63 simplifies to 8/9.
So the answers are:
#1 7/3
#2 -7/15
#3 2/5
#4 1/136
#5 4/5
#6 -9/10
#7 2/3
#8 8/9
when multiplying fractions, multiply the tops and the bottoms, then reduce as needed.
#2, -7/9 x 3/5 = -21/45 = -7/15
when dividing fractions, invert the divisor and multiply as above
#6. -4/5 / 8/9 = -4/5 * 9/8 = -36/40 = -9/10
Now you can do all the rest. Come back if you get stuck, and show some work.
