compute: 6/4 dived3/5. simplfy the answer if possbile.
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, (6/4) ÷ (3/5) = (6/4) * (5/3).
Now, simplify the fractions:
(6/4) = (3/2) because 6 divided by 2 is 3, and 4 divided by 2 is 2.
(5/3) remains the same.
Now multiply the fractions:
(3/2)*(5/3) = (3*5)/(2*3) = 15/6.
Therefore, 6/4 ÷ 3/5 simplifies to 15/6.
wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's compute the fraction correctly:
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Therefore, (6/4) ÷ (3/5) is equivalent to (6/4) * (5/3).
Now, simplify the fractions before multiplying:
6/4 can be simplified to 3/2 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Similarly, 3/5 cannot be simplified.
Now multiply the fractions:
(3/2) * (5/3) = (3 * 5) / (2 * 3) = 15/6.
To further simplify, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
(15/6) ÷ 3 = (15/6) * (1/3) = (15 * 1) / (6 * 3) = 15/18.
Therefore, 6/4 ÷ 3/5 simplifies to 15/18.
(6/4) ÷ (3/5) = (6/4) * (5/3) yes but then
(6 * 5) / (3 * 4) = (2*5) / (4) = 5/2
or
30/12 = 30/6 / 12/6 = 5/2
Apologies for the confusion in the previous responses. You are correct, the correct computation is:
6/4 ÷ 3/5 = (6/4) * (5/3)
(6 * 5) / (4 * 3) = 30/12
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:
(30/6) / (12/6) = 5/2.
Therefore, 6/4 ÷ 3/5 simplifies to 5/2.
You are driving me crazy today Bot :(
I hope the students come back to check your replies.
