Example Question #4541 : Algebra Ii

Divide these fractions:

$\frac{12}{54}\div6$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{27}$

$\frac{2}{27}$

$\frac{1}{28}$

$1\frac{1}{27}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{27}$

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, first we need to flip the second fraction. Then multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

$\frac{12}{54}\div6=\frac{12}{54}*\frac{1}{6}=\frac{12*1}{54*6}=\frac{12}{324}$

Simplify the fraction to get the final answer:

$\frac{12}{324}\div \frac{12}{12}=\frac{1}{27}$

Example Question #201 : Fractions

Divide these fractions:

$\frac{15}{75}\div \frac{3}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, first we need to flip the second fraction. Then multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

$\frac{15}{75}\div \frac{3}{5}=\frac{15}{75}* \frac{5}{3}=\frac{15*5}{75*3}=\frac{75}{225}$

Simplify the fraction to get the final answer:

$\frac{75}{225}\div \frac{75}{75}=\frac{1}{3}$

Example Question #202 : Fractions

Divide these fractions:

$\frac{4}{25}\div \frac{2}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, first we need to flip the second fraction. Then multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

$\frac{4}{25}\div \frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{25}*\frac{5}{2}=\frac{4*5}{25*2}=\frac{20}{50}$

Simplify the fraction to get the final answer:

$\frac{20}{50}\div \frac{10}{10}=\frac{2}{5}$

Example Question #203 : Fractions

Divide these fractions:

$\frac{9}{21}\div \frac{3}{7}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

$1\frac{1}{7}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, first we need to flip the second fraction. Then multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

$\frac{9}{21}\div \frac{3}{7}=\frac{9}{21}*\frac{7}{3}=\frac{9*7}{21*3}=\frac{63}{63}$

Simplify the fraction to get the final answer:

$\frac{63}{63}=1$

Example Question #204 : Fractions

Divide these fractions:

$\frac{5}{35}\div7$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{49}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{1}{49}$

$\frac{2}{49}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{49}$

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, first we need to flip the second fraction. Then multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

$\frac{5}{35}\div7=\frac{5}{35}*\frac{1}{7}=\frac{5*1}{35*7}=\frac{5}{245}$

Simplify the fraction to get the final answer:

$\frac{5}{245}\div \frac{5}{5}=\frac{1}{49}$

Example Question #205 : Fractions

Divide these fractions:

$\frac{13}{54}\div \frac{3}{4}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{25}{81}$

$\frac{24}{81}$

$\frac{13}{81}$

$\frac{26}{81}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{26}{81}$

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, first we need to flip the second fraction. Then multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

$\frac{13}{54}\div \frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{54}*\frac{4}{3}=\frac{13*4}{54*3}=\frac{52}{162}$

Simplify the fraction to get the final answer:

$\frac{52}{162}\div \frac{2}{2}=\frac{26}{81}$

Example Question #37 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions

Simplify the following expression:

$\frac{24x}{72y^{2}}\cdot \frac{8y^{3}}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$=\frac{8xy}{9}$

$=\frac{8y}{9}$

$=\frac{9}{8xy}$

$=\frac{8x}{9y}$

$=\frac{x}{9y^{5}}$

Correct answer:

$=\frac{8xy}{9}$

Explanation:

Cancel out terms with common factors.

$\frac{24x}{72y^{2}}\cdot \frac{8y^{3}}{3}$

$=\frac{8\cdot 3x}{9\cdot 8y^{2}}\cdot \frac{8y^{3}}{3}$

$=\frac{8xy}{9}$

Example Question #38 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions

Simplify the following fractional expression:

$\frac{343}{144}*\frac{60}{49}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{35}{12}$

$\frac{12}{35}$

$\frac{35}{17}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{35}{12}$

Explanation:

Simplify the following fractional expression:

$\frac{343}{144}*\frac{60}{49}$

To simplify the expression, we need to simplify each fraction and then multiply.

To simplify each fraction, try to look for common factors on the tops and bottoms of each fraction.

$\frac{343}{144}*\frac{60}{49}=\frac{{\color{Green} 49}*7}{12*{\color{Red} 12}}*\frac{5*{\color{Red} 12}}{{\color{Green} 49}}=\frac{35}{12}$

Note how the common-colored numbers can cancel out to simplify the entire expression into:

$\frac{35}{12}$

Example Question #39 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions

Divide: $5\div \frac{9}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{9}{25}$

$-\frac{9}{4}$

$\frac{25}{9}$

$\frac{1}{9}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{25}{9}$

Explanation:

To divide this, we will need to convert the sign to multiplication and take the reciprocal of the second term in the expression.

$5\div \frac{9}{5} = 5\times \frac{5}{9}$

Multiply the first term with the numerator of the fraction.

$5\times \frac{5}{9} = \frac{25}{9}$

The fraction cannot be reduced.

The answer is: $\frac{25}{9}$

Example Question #40 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions

Multiply: $\frac{2}{7}\times \frac{14}{30}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{105}$

$\frac{2}{15}$

$\frac{7}{15}$

$\frac{79}{105}$

$\frac{11}{15}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{15}$

Explanation:

Instead of multiplying the numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator, find the common factors of the terms in the fractions.

Write out the common factors in the fractions.

$\frac{2}{7}\times \frac{14}{30} = \frac{2}{7}\times \frac{7\times 2}{2\times 15}$

Cancel out the common terms in the numerator and denominator.

The answer is $\frac{2}{15}$ .
