1) 28/36 x 42/56
2) 6 5/12 - 2 3/4
3) 14/5 / 21/120 ( / divided by)
Solution
(1) 28/36 x 42/56
simplify term by term,
28/36 = 7/9 and
42/56 = 3/4
Now,
28/36 x 42/56 = 7/9 x 3/4
multiplying numerator and denominators, we get:
(7x3) / (9x4) = 21/36
(2) 6 5/12 - 2 3/4
first we simplify 6 5/12 that comes,
(12x6+5) / 12
= (72+5) / 12
= 77/12
now simplify 2 3/4 that comes:
( 4x2+3) / 4
= (8+3) /4
= 11/4
so, 6 5/12 - 2 3/4 = (77/12) - ( 11/4)
take the LCM,we get:
(77 - (11x3) ) / 12
= (77 - 33) / 12
= 44/12
= 11/3
(c) (14/5) / (21/120)
= (14/5) x ( 120/21)
= (14x120) / ( 5 x 21 )
= 1680/105 = 16
