First try to get the same denominator for both of the parts i have marked so that you can subtract the fractions

#

Yes I've done that. It's hard to make a picture with laptop.

#

Above it's 18 and underneath 35

#

After that I multiplied 1x3 6x3 for above. Underneath 7x2 and 2x5

#

Ok now you just need to divide the 2 fractions and to do that

#

You Will essentially flip the denominator and muliply it with the numerator

#

Wait

#

Okay, thanks in advance.

analog perch Feb 2, 2024, 2:32 PM

#

#

So one example could be this

#

you flip the denominator

#

And muliply with the numerator

#

That always works with fractions

#

Yes thanks. I knew.

I have -27/18 and -4/35

#

So -27/18 * 35/-4

analog perch Feb 2, 2024, 2:33 PM

#

yes

half anchor Feb 2, 2024, 2:33 PM

#

My outcome was 1295/72

#

And when simplify it wasn't the same as in the answers

#

the answer book says: 105/8

#

Wait let me try

half anchor Feb 2, 2024, 2:34 PM

#

Sure, thank u.

analog perch Feb 2, 2024, 2:39 PM

#

half anchor So -27/18 * 35/-4

This is correct

#

But

#

If you muliply the numerator so -27 and 35

#

It should be 945 not 1295

#

half anchor So -27/18 * 35/-4

Also to make this easier you could write -27/18 as -3/2

#

OH WOW i'm so sorry

#

Im so stupid I swear

#

to multiply 27 x 35 I broke it down.
So:
10 = 350
20 = 700
and added 7 = 245. And idk why but added all these. So instead of 27 I did 37

analog perch Feb 2, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

Nah that happens to everyone

analog perch Feb 2, 2024, 2:45 PM

#

half anchor to multiply 27 x 35 I broke it down. So: 10 = 350 20 = 700 and added 7 = 245. ...

I mean Thats a Good method

half anchor Feb 2, 2024, 2:45 PM

#

Yeah wow sorry men. Now it all makes sense. Wow again. Thanks and sorry.

analog perch Feb 2, 2024, 2:45 PM
