Answer:
18/35
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, so first we need to convert both the 3.6 and the 7 into fraction forms to make it easier to find the answer.
Let's use 10 as the denominator!
So, if we have 3.6, we need to multiply it by 10 to get the value of the numerator, as 10 is what the numerator is being divided by.
We should get 36, which then goes over 10, giving us 36/10.
Now, let's do the same with 7. When we multiply 7 by 10, we get 70, which gives us the fraction 70/10.
Now, we need to divide the two fractions.
[tex]\frac{36}{10}[/tex] ÷[tex]\frac{70}{10}[/tex]
When we divide fractions, we have to KCF, which means, keep, change, flip.
We keep the first fraction exactly as it is written, change the division sign to a multiply sign, and flip the 2nd fraction around giving us 10/70. Now, we just multiply the two together:
[tex]\frac{36}{10}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{10}{70}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{360}{700}[/tex]
Now, we know that that our answer can be simplified by a common factor, and in this case, the common factor is 20, to save us some time.
So, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 20, to give us 18/35
Hope this helps! :)
