Question

How do you find the factors of 3 1/2 using a table (proportionality unit rate)

Answer 1

• To find the factors of 3 1/2 using a table of proportionality, we can begin by setting up a table with two columns, one for the numerator and one for the denominator. Next, we will list the various integer factors of 3 and the corresponding fractional factors of 1/2.

For example:

Numerator Denominator

3 1/2

1 3/2

-3 -1/2

-1 -3/2

• We can observe that the factors of 3 1/2 are 3, 1, -3, and -1, with the corresponding fractional factors being 1/2, 3/2, -1/2, and -3/2 respectively. These values can be verified by multiplying the numerator and denominator of each factor and ensuring that the product is equal to 3 1/2.
