Step-by-step solution
21 stepsHere are the solutions to the problems.
1. Write down the reciprocal of
-
(i) The reciprocal of a fraction is .
-
(ii) 9 The reciprocal of a number is .
-
(iii)
-
(iv) First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
Now, find the reciprocal.
2. Simplify.
- (i)
Find a common denominator, which is 14.
$$ \frac{4}{7} = \frac{4 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = \frac{8}{14} $$Add the fractions.
$$ \frac{8}{14} + \frac{9}{14} = \frac{8+9}{14} = \boxed{\frac{17}{14}} $$- (ii)
Find a common denominator, which is 10.
$$ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{6}{10} $$Add the fractions.
$$ \frac{7}{10} + \frac{6}{10} = \frac{7+6}{10} = \boxed{\frac{13}{10}} $$- (iii)
Write 16 as a fraction with denominator 9.
$$ 16 = \frac{16 \times 9}{9} = \frac{144}{9} $$Add the fractions.
$$ \frac{8}{9} + \frac{144}{9} = \frac{8+144}{9} = \boxed{\frac{152}{9}} $$- (iv)
Write 9 as a fraction with denominator 3.
$$ 9 = \frac{9 \times 3}{3} = \frac{27}{3} $$Add the fractions.
$$ \frac{27}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{27+1}{3} = \boxed{\frac{28}{3}} $$- (v)
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.
$$ 24 \div \frac{6}{7} = 24 \times \frac{7}{6} $$Perform the multiplication.
$$ 24 \times \frac{7}{6} = \frac{24}{6} \times 7 = 4 \times 7 = \boxed{28} $$- (vi)
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
$$ 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{15+3}{5} = \frac{18}{5} $$Add the fractions.
$$ \frac{18}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{18+4}{5} = \boxed{\frac{22}{5}} $$- (vii)
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
$$ 3\frac{3}{7} = \frac{3 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{21+3}{7} = \frac{24}{7} $$Find a common denominator, which is 21.
$$ \frac{24}{7} = \frac{24 \times 3}{7 \times 3} = \frac{72}{21} $$Add the fractions.
$$ \frac{72}{21} + \frac{8}{21} = \frac{72+8}{21} = \boxed{\frac{80}{21}} $$- (viii)
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
$$ 5\frac{4}{7} = \frac{5 \times 7 + 4}{7} = \frac{35+4}{7} = \frac{39}{7} $$ $$ 1\frac{3}{10} = \frac{1 \times 10 + 3}{10} = \frac{10+3}{10} = \frac{13}{10} $$Find a common denominator for 7 and 10, which is 70.
$$ \frac{39}{7} = \frac{39 \times 10}{7 \times 10} = \frac{390}{70} $$ $$ \frac{13}{10} = \frac{13 \times 7}{10 \times 7} = \frac{91}{70} $$Add the fractions.
$$ \frac{390}{70} + \frac{91}{70} = \frac{390+91}{70} = \boxed{\frac{481}{70}} $$- (ix)
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
$$ 15\frac{3}{7} = \frac{15 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{105+3}{7} = \frac{108}{7} $$ $$ 1\frac{23}{49} = \frac{1 \times 49 + 23}{49} = \frac{49+23}{49} = \frac{72}{49} $$To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.
$$ \frac{108}{7} \div \frac{72}{49} = \frac{108}{7} \times \frac{49}{72} $$Simplify by canceling common factors.
$$ \frac{108}{7} \times \frac{49}{72} = \frac{108}{72} \times \frac{49}{7} = \frac{3 \times 36}{2 \times 36} \times \frac{7 \times 7}{7} = \frac{3}{2} \times 7 = \frac{21}{2} $$ $$ \boxed{\frac{21}{2}} $$
