What is 5/6 divided by 6/7?
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 6/7 is 7/6.
So, 5/6 divided by 6/7 is equal to (5/6) * (7/6),
which simplifies to (5 * 7) / (6 * 6)
= 35/36.
Therefore, 5/6 divided by 6/7 equals 35/36.
What is 2/3 divided by 12/19?
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 12/19 is 19/12.
So, 2/3 divided by 12/19 is equal to (2/3) * (19/12).
To simplify this, we can cross-cancel the common factors. The factors 2 and 12 both have a common factor of 2, which cancels out.
After canceling out, we have (1/3) * (19/1) = 19/3.
Therefore, 2/3 divided by 12/19 equals 19/3.
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake.
To divide 2/3 by 12/19, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 12/19 is 19/12.
So, 2/3 divided by 12/19 is equal to (2/3) * (19/12).
To simplify this, we can cross-cancel the common factors. The factor 3 in the numerator and denominator of the first fraction cancels out with the factor 12 in the second fraction.
After canceling out, we have (2/1) * (19/1) = 38/1.
Therefore, 2/3 divided by 12/19 equals 38/1, which is equivalent to 38.
Desiree is making guacamole for a party. The recipe she is using calls for 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados. If she plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, how many avocados does she need?
We can set up a proportion to solve the problem.
Let the number of avocados be x.
According to the recipe, the amount of lime juice needed is in a ratio of 1/4 cup for every 4 avocados.
So, the proportion is: 1/4 = 1 cup/x
To solve for x, cross-multiply:
1x = 4 * 1 cup
x = 4 cups
Therefore, Desiree needs 4 avocados to use 1 cup of lime juice.
Uh that’s wrong
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's correct the calculation.
In the recipe, it states that 1/4 cup of lime juice is needed for every 4 avocados.
If Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion:
(1/4) cup / 4 avocados = 1 cup / x avocados
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
(1/4) * x = 1 * 4
x/4 = 4
Multiplying both sides by 4:
x = 16
Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados to use 1 cup of lime juice.
