Question

Bds Explain how you would use fraction bars to find the 10/12 divided by 4/6 quotient of What is the quotient? 12 6

Answer 1

5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The division of fractions can be calculated as:

`(a)/(b)/(c)/(d)=(a* d)/(b* c)`

Therefore, 10/12 ÷ 4/6 is equal to:

`(10)/(12)/(4)/(6)=(10*6)/(12*4)=(60)/(48)=(5)/(4)`

Now, using fraction bars, we first need to represent 10/12 as the green line.

So, if the black line is the whole bar, the green line is 10/12 and the red bar represents 4/6.

Now, we can see that we can complete a green bar with one red bar and 1 yellow bar, where every yellow bar is 1/4 of the red one.

So, the division of 10/12 by 4/6 is:

1 (red) + 1/4 (yellow) = 5/4

1 + 1/4 = 5/4
