Question

how many 1/10 's are in 3/4?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

problem understandable.

How many 2 cup servings are in 10 cups of pudding????

10 divided by 2 is 5. Yes

So instead of the 10 there is 3/4 and instead of the 2 there is 1/5.

So instead of dividing 10 by 2, you have to divide 3/4 by 1/5.

Here's how you divide the fractions. It's called KFC: Keep, Flip, Change

1) KEEP: leave the first fraction alone

2) FLIP OVER the second fraction

3) CHANGE divide to multiply

KFC

So 3/4 divided by 1/5 =

3/4 divided by 1/5 = <---- KEEP: leave the first fraction alone

3/4 x 5/1 = <---- FLIP the second fraction over and

CHANGE divide to multiply

= 15/4

15 divides by 4, 3 whole times, with a remainder of 3.

So the whole number is 3. The remainder goes on the top of the fraction,

while the bottom number stays the same.

So the mixed number is 3 and 3/4

So there are 3 and 3/4 servings of 1/5 cups of pudding available.

Now how do you check division? MULTIPLICATION!

So if we multiply the answer by 1/5, we had better get 3/4.

3 and 3/4 x 1/5 =

15/4 x 1/5 = 15/20 = 3 /4

Optionally with 15/4 x 1/5, the 15 cancels the 5 , 3 times. So 3/4 x 1/1 = 3/4
