Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside-down (this is now a Reciprocal).

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal Step 3. Multiply the numerator to the numerator and multiply the denominator to the denominator. So you will get the answer then simplify it if you need to.

11. In a comedy review, each perfomer has a 1/4 slot. How many performers in a 2-h show.

The real question is how many groups of 1\4 are in 2. I estimated that the answer is going to be over 1 because the numerator 2 is bigger than the denominator 1\4. To figure out the answer you put 2\1 over 1/4 like this.

Then you do 1\4 x 4\1 which is called reciprocal. You do the same thing with the numerator so 2/1 x 4/1. The answer is 8/1 or 8.

Here is the pictorial form.

13.Three quarters of a can of apple juice fills six glasses. How many glasses will a whole can of apple juice fill.

The real question is how many groups of 3/4 are in 6. I estimated that the answer is going to be over 1 because the numerator 6 is bigger than the denominator 3/4. To figure out the answer you put 6/1 over 3/4 like this.

Then you do 3/4 x 4\3 which is called reciprocal. You do the same thing with the numerator so 6/1 x 4/3. The answer is 24/3 or 8.

Here is the pictorial form.

17. The average wind speed in Calgary is 4/5 of the average wind speed in Regina. The average wind speed in Calgary is 16km/h. What is the average wind speed in Regina.

The real question is how many groups of 4/5 are in 16. I estimated that the answer is going to be over 1 because the numerator 16 is bigger than the denominator 4/5. To figure out the answer you put 16/1 over 4/5 like this.

Then you do 4/5 x 5\4 which is called reciprocal. You do the same thing with the numerator so 16/1 x 5/4. The answer is 80/4 or 20.

Here is the pictorial form.

In a computer terminology, a bit is 1/8 of a byte. How many bits equal 16 bytes.
This is what i did.
The answer is 2 bytes

The right way to solve it is

So the real answer is 128 bytes

13. Three quarters of a can of apple juice fills 6
glasses. How many glasses will a whole can of apple juice fill?
>1

11. In a comedy review, each performer has a quarter of an hour slot. How many performers are there in a 2 hour show?

>1






12. It takes 2 and a half scoops of flour to make one cake. How many cakes do 15 scoops of flour make?

>1
First, make the mixed fraction an improper fraction. Then, treat it like a normal fraction dividing problem.






My Test Corrections :

1. Most of my mistakes were caused because I didn't write a question down.





















2. Another mistake I made was because I didn't really explain how I got the answer of 3 quarters.
