Use multiplying by one to find an expression equivalent to 12/11 with a denominator of 77z.
I have an entire worksheet of problems like this. Could someone please explain to me how to complete this type of problem.
Is the denominator 77z or 77?
77z
Look at the first fraction 12/11
Find the denominator which is 11
Find denominator of second fraction which is 77
What do you multiply 11 by to get 77?
You multiply 11 by 7 to get 77
Whatever you do to the denominator you do do the numerator.
So 12*7 = 84
Equivalent fraction of 12/11 = 84/77
To check your answer divide 12 by 11 and 84 by 77, you should get the same answer.
Hope this helps.
To find an expression equivalent to 12/11 with a denominator of 77z, we can use the concept of multiplying by one.
Multiplying by one means multiplying a fraction by a carefully chosen form of one to obtain an equivalent fraction. In this case, we want to multiply the given fraction with a form of one that creates a denominator of 77z.
To do this, we need to identify the missing factor in the denominator of the given fraction. In this case, the missing factor is (7z). We can then multiply the fraction by (7z)/(7z), which is equal to one.
So, multiplying the given fraction 12/11 by (7z)/(7z), we get:
(12/11) * (7z)/(7z) = (12*7z) / (11*7z) = (84z) / (77z)
Hence, an expression equivalent to 12/11 with a denominator of 77z is (84z) / (77z).
To apply this process to the entire worksheet, follow these steps:
1. Identify the missing factor in the denominator of each given fraction.
2. Write the missing factor as a fraction multiplied by itself, which is equal to one.
3. Multiply the given fraction by this fraction to get the equivalent fraction with the desired denominator.
Repeat these steps for each problem on your worksheet, and you will find expressions equivalent to each given fraction with the desired denominators.
