Question

Find the value of each expression using the strategy that Elena described. a. 3/4 ÷ 1/8 b. 9/10 ÷ 3/5

Answer 1

Here, we want to use Elena's strategy

So what we will do here is to multiply by the numerator and divide by the denomiantor for the fraction after the division sign

Thus, we have that;

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)*(8)/(1)\text{ = }(24)/(4)\text{ = 6} \\ \\ (9)/(10)*(5)/(3)\text{ = }(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`
