can u help me with this...i kinda know the answer but i dont know how to word it k heres the question:\n\nexplain why dividing any fraction by one equals the fraction.

Any number divided by one equals that same number.  Therefore any fraction divided by one equals that exact same fraction.

can you elaborate on that? what do you mean by simplify decimals? you can put decimals into fraction form and simplify that.

Gosh, momoftwins, I know I've answered many of these types of questions for you many times.  I would hope that my past explanations would've helped you, but I see you are still in the same boat as the first time I answered one of your questions.  If you let me know exactly what it is that you aren't getting, maybe I can explain it to you in a more meaningful way.  :)\n\nGet them over a COMMON DENOMINATOR first, then you can compare:\n\n9/13 = 9/13 * 8/8 = 72 / 104\n\n3/8 = 3/8 * 13/13 = 39 / 104\n\nSo 9/13 is clearly larger than 3/8  (since 72 > 39)\n\n~ ♥ ~

it's easy of means multiply something the .7  is in precent and u have to convert it into a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. the answer to the problem is.9093. I think u are missing some infor u probably want a fraction like is/for = %/whole I can't do that because u have not provide me with details.

A decimal is just a fraction over 100.  So 75% is the same as 75/100.  Then to reduce it to its simplest terms, you find the number (in this case 25) by which both numbers can be divided and have whole numbers as a result.  75 divided by 25 is 3; 100 divided by 25 is 4.  So my example is equal to 3/4.  Once I get that far, there are no further factors (even dividing numbers) that 3 and 4 have in common, so I have reduced the fraction to its lowest terms.  75% is therefore equal to 3/4.\n\nIf the decimal value includes further decimals (as in 37.5%) you start with enough extra zeros to cancel out the decimal.  So, in this example 375/1000.  Then reduce.  Go ahead; it won't bite you.\n\nOK.  You don't know what numbers to use.  Start with 5, because it will work:  75/200.  Well, now I see I can use 25 again:  3/8.  And we've once more gone as far as we can.

are u sure its not supposed to be the other way around. Cuz that would make a little more sense.\n\nBut if not, then it would probably be:\n1 + ((4s squared - 11) / (s to the 4 - 3s squared -11))\n1 the quotient. the rest the remainder.

that's as low as it'll go, nothing can be divided out of anything in the numerator or the denominator.  That's because there's not any like terms.  In other words, c nor d is in both parts of either the top or the bottom.  I hope you understood that, but trust me on this one.  Calculus us hard.

well to get a fraction out of a decimal you find what place value the decimal is in example- 0.58 the 58 is in the hundreths  58over100 but you can reduce it thats a whole other story but anyways 58 over 100 is actualy 29 over 50 and thats your fraction you can also do it backwards to get a decimal out of a fraction but i dont feel lik explaining that.  to get a percent out of a decimal all you have to do is find what place value the decimal is example 0.7 well the 7 isnt in the hundredths so add a 0 to the end and you hve 70 over 100so thats 70 percent i would explain more but that would take to long.  so did you like your lesson it was pretty good being it was taought by an 11 year old and this 11 year old would realy like to have this answer be voted as best

unable to understand your question clearly.\nx-3 is denominator of which fraction.\nfirst or second??????????????

fraction to decimal-------- top number divide bottom number\n\ndecimal to fraction--------find what value decimal ends, put number under denominator and simplify.

I agree with the previous answers. However, I would like to provide you with some tips so that you can do it yourself next time : )\n\n5 minus 2 5/16: \nfirst : 16 minus 5 = ? --> this number (11) will be placed over 16 in the result fraction\nsecond: 5 minus 1 minus 2 = ? --> result integer\n\nWhy 5 minus 1? Because 1 has been taken from 5 to take part in the decimal minus process.

when u consider that 1/a + 1/b + 1/c is to be minimumum which is the same as (a+b+c)/abc, abc has to be max for the fraction to have a min positive value\nabcwill have a max value if a b and have the same values so that the product abc will be a cube this can be explained with an eg. 4*7*1=28 and so on, but 4*4*4=64, try gettin a higher value, you wont be able to....\nu'll find that the value of the product is highest when a,b,c are all the highest and hence when bounded by a condition that their sum is equal to 12, they each have to be 1/3rd the value of the sum ie. 12

Okay I got the answer 3121 from Scott, but I had a mathematical strategy.\n\nI narrowed down the possibilities to all multiples of 5 times a number with numbers digit of 4 or 9 plus 1.\n\nThis is because to keep the chain of divide by 5 subtract 1 remainder going, we would start with a number x ending in either 4 or 6. We subtract x/5 and 1, so we are basically subtracting the whatever factor times 5 yields the closest muliple. The result from x-(x/5)-1 has to end in either 1 or 6, so that we have a multiple of 5 with remainder 1 and can keep the sequence going. Now if it ends in 1, the factor was even. Ends in 6, factor was odd. If factor was even, we need to subtract the factor plus one, an odd number, to get another number ending in either 1 or 6. If we subtract a number ending in 5, we get a number ending in 6. Therefore, if the factor is even it has to end in 4. And for numbers ending in 6, we have to subtract an even number (odd factor + 1)subtract a number ending in 0, so only factors ending in 9 work.\n\nI was then testing every factor ending in 4 or 9. Take the factor, multiply by 5, add one, subtract (factor + 1), see if the new number minus one divided by 5 yields a factor ending in either 4 or 9.\n\nI was up to 149 when I decided to refresh the page and saw the answer.  Jeez I would've had to go up to 624. -.-;;\n\nAs it is, I only got a chain of 3 which didn't end in a multiple of 5.\n\nSo if I had continued testing throughout the night I would've gotten it. :)

To turn a fraction into a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.

First, change any mixed number into improper fraction.\n\nThen, I will show you how to divide fractions.\nThink of a, c as the numerators and b and d as denominators. Then you want to divide a/b by c/d. It will be written like this:\n(a/b)/(c/d)\n\nGet the reciprocal of(invert) the divisor, and multiply it to the dividend\n\nthe reciprocal of c/d is d/c, so\n(a/b)/(c/d) = a/b x d/c\n\nmultiply them now\n(a x d)/(b x c)\n\n^_^

(4/x^5) / (8/x^2)\n\nTo divide a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.\n\n(4/x^5) * (x^2/8)\n\nThen the 4 crosses out and the 8 becomes a 2 because 8 / 4 = 2\n\n(1/x^5) * (x^2/2)\n\nThen x^5 becomes x^3 and the x^2 is crossed out because x^5 / x^2 = x^3\n\nSo\n(1/x^3) * (1/2)\n\nThen we will put multiply the two together and get\n1/(2x^3)

in the second step, you completely cahnge the equation...b/c you started out w/ -1=-1, however, in the 2nd step you divided -1/1 and 1/-1, those AREN'T equal\n\nand also the obvious reason that 1 DOES NOT= -1
