Complete the following exercise:
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
First, let's restate the problem equation:
We are to compute .
Step 1: Identify the fractions: .
Step 2: Take the reciprocal of , which is .
Step 3: Multiply by :
.
Step 4: Convert to a mixed number:
remainder . Therefore, .
Therefore, the result of is .
\( \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}= \)
Dividing by a fraction means "how many groups of that size fit into the first amount?" Flipping and multiplying gives you the same result as division, but it's much easier to calculate!
Always flip the second fraction - the one after the division sign. In , flip to get .
It depends on what the question asks for! If the answer choices are mixed numbers (like ), then yes. Otherwise, an improper fraction like is perfectly correct.
Divide the numerator by denominator: means 25 ÷ 18 = 1 remainder 7, so the answer is .
Yes! Always check if you can simplify first. In this problem, can't be simplified because 25 and 18 share no common factors besides 1.
