w ÷ 7one-half for w = 5five-sixths
A. 35fifty-two-twelfths
B. seven-ninths
C. seven-fifty-firsts
Substituting the value of w = 5five-sixths into the expression w ÷ 7one-half:
w ÷ 7one-half = (5five-sixths) ÷ 7one-half
We convert the divisor into a fraction:
7one-half = 7 ÷ 2 = 14/2 = 7
Now the expression becomes:
(5five-sixths) ÷ 7 = (5/1)/(7/1) = 5/1 * 1/7 = 5/7
Therefore, the answer is option B. seven-ninths.
