Basically, you multiply the numerators (the numbers on the top of the fractions) and then you multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom of the fractions). You end up with another fraction.
See the link I am giving you. Let me know if you still have questions.
Sure! Let's break it down step-by-step:
1. First, let's find the product of 600 and 3:
600 x 3 = 1800
2. Next, let's find the product of the denominator, which is 8:
8 x 1 = 8
3. Now, we have the fraction 1800/8. To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 1800 and 8 is 8.
1800 ÷ 8 = 225
8 ÷ 8 = 1
So, the fraction simplifies to 225/1, which is just 225.
4. Finally, to subtract, we can subtract 225 from 0:
0 - 225 = -225
So, the final result is -225.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
To multiply 600 by 3/8, you follow these steps:
1. Multiply the numerator (top number) of the fraction (3) by 600: 3 x 600 = 1800.
2. Multiply the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction (8) by 1: 8 x 1 = 8.
3. Write the result from step 1 (1800) as the numerator of a new fraction.
4. Write the result from step 2 (8) as the denominator of the new fraction.
So, multiplying 600 by 3/8 gives you the fraction 1800/8.
To subtract this fraction, you need a common denominator. In this case, it's already 8.
To subtract, subtract the numerators and write the result over the common denominator.
1800/8 - 4800/8 = (1800 - 4800)/8 = -3000/8 = -375.
Therefore, the answer to 600 multiplied by 3/8 and then subtracted is -375.
