How much cake will each member of the team get if 6 members share 3/4
of a cake equally?
9 months ago
To find out how much cake each member will get, we need to divide the amount of cake by the number of members.
If 6 members share 3/4 of a cake equally, we divide 3/4 by 6:
(3/4) ÷ 6 = (3/4) × (1/6) = 3/24 = 1/8
Therefore, each member of the team will get 1/8 of a cake. Answer: \boxed{\frac{1}{8}}.

If there are 24 packets of sheet music and the chorus students decide to share 38 of the packets, then they shared 38 packets. Answer: \boxed{38}.
9 months ago
Twenty-four packets of sheet music are in a folder. If the chorus students decide to share 3/8
of the packets, how many did they share?
9 months ago
To find out how many packets the chorus students shared, we need to multiply the total number of packets by the fraction they shared.
The fraction they shared is 3/8, so we multiply 24 by 3/8:
24 * 3/8 = (24/1) * (3/8) = (24 * 3) / (1 * 8) = 72/8 = 9
Therefore, the chorus students shared 9 packets. Answer: \boxed{9}.

Celeste completed 5/6
of her science problems. Her mom checked 2/3
of the assignment. What fraction of the assignment did her mom check?
9 months ago
To find the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply the fraction of the problems Celeste completed by the fraction of the assignment her mom checked.
The fraction Celeste completed is 5/6, and her mom checked 2/3 of that.
So, the fraction her mom checked is: (5/6) * (2/3) = (5 * 2) / (6 * 3) = 10/18 = 5/9.
Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 5/9 of the assignment. Answer: \boxed{\frac{5}{9}}.

Paige decided to paint 4/5
of the rooms in her home last year. By the end of the year, Paige completed 2/3
of the rooms. How much of Paige’s home was painted last year?
9 months ago
To find out how much of Paige's home was painted last year, we need to multiply the fraction of rooms she decided to paint by the fraction of rooms she completed.
The fraction of rooms Paige decided to paint is 4/5, and she completed 2/3 of that.
So, the fraction of Paige's home that was painted last year is: (4/5) * (2/3) = (4 * 2) / (5 * 3) = 8/15.
Therefore, 8/15 of Paige's home was painted last year. Answer: \boxed{\frac{8}{15}}.

What is 3/8÷2
?
9 months ago
To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number.
In this case, we need to divide 3/8 by 2, which is the same as multiplying 3/8 by 1/2.
(3/8) * (1/2) = (3 * 1) / (8 * 2) = 3/16
Therefore, the result is 3/16. Answer: \boxed{\frac{3}{16}}.

2 1/3÷2/5
9 months ago
To divide a mixed number by a fraction, we multiply the mixed number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
First, let's convert the mixed number 2 1/3 to an improper fraction:
2 1/3 = (2 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3
Now, we can calculate the division:
(7/3) ÷ (2/5) = (7/3) * (5/2)
To simplify this multiplication, we can cancel common factors between the numerators and denominators:
(7 * 5) / (3 * 2) = 35/6
Therefore, the result is 35/6. Answer: \boxed{\frac{35}{6}}.
9 months ago
what is 35/6 as a mixed fraction?
9 months ago
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator and express the remainder as a fraction.
For the fraction 35/6:
Dividing 35 by 6 gives us 5 with a remainder of 5.
So, 35/6 is equal to 5 and 5/6.
Therefore, the mixed fraction form of 35/6 is 5 5/6. Answer: \boxed{5\frac{5}{6}}.

How many 4/3
pint servings are in 28/3
pints of milk?
9 months ago
To find out how many 4/3 pint servings are in 28/3 pints of milk, we need to divide the total amount of milk by the amount of milk per serving.
The amount of milk per serving is 4/3 pints.
So, we divide 28/3 by 4/3:
(28/3) ÷ (4/3)
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(28/3) * (3/4) = (28 * 3) / (3 * 4) = (84) / (12) = 7
Therefore, there are 7 servings of 4/3 pints in 28/3 pints of milk. Answer: \boxed{7}.

Divide −3/17
by −2/3
9 months ago
To divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of -2/3 is -3/2.
So, we have (-3/17) ÷ (-2/3) = (-3/17) * (-3/2).
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(-3 * -3) / (17 * 2) = 9/34
Therefore, (-3/17) divided by (-2/3) is equal to 9/34. Answer: \boxed{\frac{9}{34}}.

Divide −4/9
by 4/7
9 months ago
To divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 4/7 is 7/4.
So, we have (-4/9) ÷ (4/7) = (-4/9) * (7/4).
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(-4 * 7) / (9 * 4) = -28/36
Now, we can simplify the fraction. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 28 and 36 is 4.
Divide both the numerator and denominator by 4:
(-28/4) / (36/4) = -7/9
Therefore, (-4/9) divided by (4/7) is equal to -7/9. Answer: \boxed{-\frac{7}{9}}.

How is the sign of the quotient determined?
9 months ago
The sign of the quotient is determined by the signs of the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number dividing the dividend).
If the dividend and divisor have the same sign (both positive or both negative), then the quotient will be positive.
If the dividend and divisor have different signs (one positive and one negative), then the quotient will be negative.
In other words, the sign of the quotient follows the rule of "like signs result in a positive quotient, while unlike signs result in a negative quotient."
For example, if we divide a positive number by a positive number, the quotient will be positive. If we divide a negative number by a negative number, the quotient will also be positive. But if we divide a positive number by a negative number (or vice versa), the quotient will be negative.

If the Walkers deducted $850 each month last year from their checking account, we need to determine the total effect on their balance.
Since they deducted $850 each month, we multiply $850 by the number of months in a year, which is 12:
$850 * 12 = $10,200
Therefore, the effect on their checking account balance was a deduction of $10,200. Answer: \boxed{\$10,200}.

Over the past 8 months, Devon made payments for a total of $936 to pay for internet service. The service is the same amount each month. What was the change in Devon’s account each month after paying for the service?
9 months ago
To determine the change in Devon's account each month after paying for the internet service, we need to divide the total payment by the number of months.
The total payment over 8 months was $936, so we divide that by 8:
$936 ÷ 8 = $117
Therefore, the change in Devon's account each month after paying for the service was a decrease of $117. Answer: \boxed{-$117}.

Convert 5 18/25
to a decimal.
9 months ago
To convert a mixed number to a decimal, we first convert the whole number part to a decimal and then add it to the decimal representation of the fraction part.
The whole number part of 5 18/25 is 5. To convert the fraction part, we divide the numerator (18) by the denominator (25):
18 ÷ 25 = 0.72
Adding the decimal representation of the fraction part (0.72) to the whole number part (5), we get:
5 + 0.72 = 5.72
Therefore, 5 18/25 as a decimal is equal to 5.72. Answer: \boxed{5.72}.
