How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt?
Answer to 11.07.14 Question: First, you have six pieces of wood that are 50 3/4 inches long.
Convert 50 3/4 to a decimal, 50.75, and times it by 6 to see how much wood you have.
The product for that is 304.5 or 304 1/2 inches of wood. You know that each side is 7.25 or 7 1/4 inches long. If you would like to work with fractions, you convert both to improper fractions and divide. Leaving them as decimals makes 304.5 your dividend and 7.25 your divisor. If you decided to work with fractions, you have 609/2 divided by 29/4. Using either algorithm, you end up with 21 sides for your birdhouses.

I got 1/2 because the operation is division so I flipped the 2/3 to 3/2 and then divided that by 3/4 and got 1/2
ReplyDeleteYou have the numbers in the correct arrangement.

How?
Delete9/8
ReplyDeleteMy answer is: 8/9, because 2/3 divided by 3/4= 2/3 x 4/3= 8/9
ReplyDelete1, because 2/3 is less than 3/4. Doumbas
ReplyDeleteDoumbas,
DeleteI am not confident that you are understanding the algorithm to use.
The answer is 8/9. I got my answer by knowing that they want to see how many 3/4 cups can go into 2/3. That then tells me to divide 2/3 divided by 3/4. When you divide you turn It into a multiplication problem. Once you turn it into a multiplication problem you have to flip the second fraction. Then multiply. When I multiplied I got 8/9.

Snicker,
DeleteNice response. I would like to see the work reciprocal in your explanation.
I got 8/9 by dividing 2/3 divided by 3/4 but you would flip 3/4 to 4/3 so then you multiply 2/3x4/3 and get 8/9.

Corona,
DeleteGood to see you participating in this discussion. What word can you use to replace "flip" in your statement.
I think that the answer is 8/9 of a serving. I came up with my answer by taking
ReplyDelete2/3 divided by 3/4, and then I took 2/3 and left it the same but I used the recipical
of 3/4 which is 4/3and then I multiplied them together to get my answer of 8/9 of a
serving. :)

I got 9/8, when I divided 3/4 by 2/3 I first flipped the 2/3 to make it 3/2 the I multiplied the numerators and denominators.
