## twila1 Group Title I need help quick. What is the quotient of three and one over five divided by seven over ten in simplest form? three and two over seven three and seven over fifty four and two over five four and four over seven 2 years ago 2 years ago

1. MathLegend Group Title

Wait all of those together are being divided?

2. pratu043 Group Title

What do you mean by 3 and 1? 31?

3. quennie Group Title

4. twila1 Group Title

$3\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }$

5. MathLegend Group Title

okay

6. quennie Group Title

ahh.. much better

7. MathLegend Group Title

If I were you I would change that Mixed Number into an improper fraction

8. MathLegend Group Title

So can you tell me what $3\frac{ 1 }{ 5}$ is as an improper fraction?

9. twila1 Group Title

no?

10. pratu043 Group Title

Multiply 3 by 5 and add 1 to get the numerator.

11. twila1 Group Title

16

12. MathLegend Group Title

Don't forget to include the denominator.

13. pratu043 Group Title

Yep so its 16/5

14. pratu043 Group Title

as an improper fraction.

15. MathLegend Group Title

$\frac{ 16 }{ 5}$*$\frac{ 10 }{ 7}$

16. quennie Group Title

you will make the $3\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }$ in a improper fraction then switch the numerator of the second fraction then multiply it

17. MathLegend Group Title

When dividing I like to flip the second fraction (Known as the reciprical)

18. MathLegend Group Title

This way you can multiply

19. quennie Group Title

correction: reciprocal

20. MathLegend Group Title

16/5 * 10/7 = ?

21. MathLegend Group Title

Multiply Numerators and then Multiply the denominators

22. twila1 Group Title

160 35

23. pratu043 Group Title

What @MathLegend says is correct. $\frac{ 16 }{ 5 } \times \frac{ 10 }{ 7 } = \frac{ 160 }{ 35 }$

24. MathLegend Group Title

Good

25. pratu043 Group Title

Can you simplify on your own now?

26. quennie Group Title

instead of using $\frac{ 16 }{ 5 }$ times $\frac{ 10 }{ 7 }$ = $\frac{ 160 }{ 35 }$ .. use the cross multiplication for easy answering.. it will help you ..

27. MathLegend Group Title

It is the same thing... doesn't matter.
