Jethro's Fraction Scribepost



2. Mike carried out the division 3/4 / 2/3 as follows.





 3     2      4      2
--- / --- = --- x ---
 4     3      3      3

                8
            = ---
                9

Do you agree with Mike’s method and answer? Explain. 

No, because he made a reciprocal on the first one. (in our method, the numerator) 



5.   a) 5/8 / 1/4          find a common denominator.
          5/8 / 2/8    =  2 1/2

b) 1/4 / 1/3    find a common denominator
  3/12 / 4/12  =  3/4



c) 1 1/2 / 2/3       find a common denominator 
     9/6  /  4/6  =  2 1/4



   
d) 2 1/3 / 5/6      find a common denominator 
    14/6 /  5/6   =  2 4/5




7.    a) 3/5 / 9/10 = 6/10 / 9/10     = 2/3        
          find the common denominator

            6     10      60     2     
           --- x --- =  --- = ---
           10     9       90     3
        -------
            9     10 
           --- x --- = 1
           10     9

b) 1 1/2 / 5/6 = 9/6 / 5/6        = 1 4/5  
       find the common denominator


            9      6       54         4      
           --- x --- =  --- =  1  ---
            6      5       30         5
        -------
            5      6
           --- x --- = 1
            6      5 





c) 3 1/3 / 1 5/6 = 20/6 / 11/6      = 1 9/11
         find the common denominator






            20    6      120          9     
           --- x --- =  ---- =   1 ---
            6     11      66          11
        -------
           11     6 
           --- x --- = 1
            6     11 
















Fraction Test Correction


In computer terminology, a bit is 1/8 of a byte. How many bits equal 16 bytes? 



  16        8         128     
  ---   x  ---  =   ------
   1         1           1
------ 
   1        8  
  ---  x  ---         128 bits.
   8        1








 5        1
---  x  ---        What is 1/2 of 5/6?
 6        2






 5          1
---  -:-  --- 
 8          4

      1
 2  ---
      2

  5. Good job! I understood your explanation for it but you could have put some of the ones you solved on pictures so its easier to get. Other than that your other pictures were really easy to understand. The video you put was good too.
