how many 1/4 tsp do i need to = 3/16 and 3/8 of a tsp? and how did u get that? thank you.?

3/16 = not a full 1/4 tsp 1/4 = 4/16\n3/8 = 1 and 1/2  1/4 tsp 3/8 =6/16

First of all... NEVER tell yourself that you are bad at math.\n\nNow, imagine a pizza that has 3 slices - those are pretty big slices.  Each of the slices is one-third (1/3) of the pizza.\n\nHow many do you need to make two-thirds (2/3)?  That's right, two.\n\nTwo slices of pizza = one slice + another slice = 1/3 + ?... I think you know the answer now.

9/9 = 1\n12 / 4 = 3\n64 / 4 = 16\nso 1 - 3 + 16 = 14\nYep, it's 14

1/3 x 1/4 = (1x1)/(3x4) = 1/12

Convert everything to a common denomoinator, 32 in this case.\n1/2 = 16/32  and 5/8 = 20/32\n\nYour choices:\n3/4 = 24/32\n13/32 = 13/32\n 7/16 = 14/32\n 9/16 = 18/32 < == Your answer\n 1/4 = 8/32

You figured it out - the distributive property is your key:\n\nThink of what you're saying when you write (7/8) = (1/8)*7\n\nyou're saying (1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)=7/8\n\nBut let's work with 10th; you'll see it faster:\n\nLet's say 3/10 to make it easy and keep my fingers from falling off...\n\nSo, if you buy the first thing, we're saying that:\n\n(3/10) = 3*(1/10) = (1/10)+(1/10)+(1/10)\n\nNow think decimals.  This one is easy, right?  Since our number system is based on ten, this is a nice round number -\n\n(3/10) = 0.3  or three pieces, that are each one tenth of a whole item (a dollar, a chocolate bar - whatever helps).  Really, what you are asking is how many pieces of the whole thing you have - broken down by tens, because that's what our number system is based on.\n\nSo (bare with me, but I think you'll get it after this), instead, let's say we have 1/4 of something, we have two tenths of it, plus another half of one-tenth:\n\n(1/4) = (1/10)+(1/10)+[(1/2)*(1/10)] = 0.25\n\nor [2*(1/10)] + [(1/2)*(1/10)] = 0.25\n\nAnd, it works for any multiple - if we made the denominator 60, we would have to multiply by 15:\n\n(1/4) = (15/60) = 0.25\n\nA twenty-five cent piece and fifteen minutes after the hour con't share the name "quater" by accident...\n\nAnd believe me, this works for any fraction under the sun.\n\nHope that helps.

You find the fraction of a fraction by multiplying the top numbers and (separately) multiplying the bottom numbers.\n\nTherefore, the answer is 1/3 x 1/8, or 1 x1 over 3 x 8.  1 x1 = 1, and 3 x8 = 24, so you wind up with 1/24.\n\nWhen I first learned how to do this, I wanted to divide rather than multiply.  But you multiply the fractions, and, as I said, top numbers go with top numbers and bottoms with bottoms.  Good luck!!

I would recommend changing 3 1/2 into an improper fraction.  \n\nSo 3 1/2 will become 7/2.\n\nNow we are multiplying 7/2 and 3/4.\n\nRemember when multiplying fraction we say top times top and bottom times bottom.\n\nSo we will have (7 x 3) / (2 x 4), which is 21/8.\n\n21/8 as a mixed number becomes 2 5/8.\n\nHope this helps!

Sure.  To multiply 3/4 x 1/2, for example, you multiply the numerators (3 x 1) and the denominators (4 x 2) and end up with 3/8.  To divide by 3/4 by 1/2, you invert the multiplier, making it 2/1, and then multiply the numerators (3 x 2) and denominators (4 x 1) and end up with 6/4 or 1 1/2.

3/4 is NOT a whole number is a fraction....\nit is 0.75...............!!

Well, I doubt any sixth grader knows of the floor function :)\n\nHow about 8/(3-(8/3))?\n\n3 - 8/3 = 1/3\n8/(1/3) is the same as 8*3 = 24\n\nP.S. Anyone ever played 24? It's a pretty similar game, where you get four numbers and have to make them equal 24 with these rules. Very fun :)

The question is set up as:\n\n   3\n   -\n   4\n--------\n   24\n\nOr, more clearly (3/4)/24\n\n\nBy bringing the denominator to the top and converting it to a fraction, we get:\n\n\n3     1\n-  x  -\n4     24\n\nOr 3/4 x 1/24\n\nWhich equals\n\n1\n--\n32\n\n1/32

13/16 - 1/4 is like 13/16 - 4/16 which equal 9/16\n\nYou just have to get the denominators equal to add or subtract fractions...so just multiply the the top and bottom of 1/4 by 4 and you get 4/16 (which is the same as 1/4). It works the same for all fractions that you want to add or subtract.

Yiu would first decide how many decimal places you are going to consider.  The usual is 3.  Then work it from there...;

8 1/3 - 1 2/4\n= 8 4/12 - 1 6/12\n= 7 16/12 - 1 6/12\n= 6 10/12\n= 6 5/6

flip one of them and multiply the numerator of one by the numerator of the other and the denominator of one by the denominator of the other!\nex: 2/3/3/2 >>> FLIP ONE 2/3 x 2/3 = 4/6\n NOW 4/6 can be simplified to 2/3!\n**Hope this explains it

between 7/12 and 3/4 (which is 9/12) you have 8/12 which reduces to 2/3\n\nbetween 3/4 (which is 9/12) and 11/12 you have 10/12 which reduces to 5/6\n\nHope this helps.
