Question

Which values of a, b, and c correctly represent the answer in simplest form?

3 and one-half divided by 2 and one-fourth = a StartFraction b Over c EndFraction

Answer 1

Answer:answer is b

Explanation:

Answer 2

a=1, b=5 and c=9

Explanation:

We want to determine the values of a, b and c in the expression:

`3(1)/(2) / 2(1)/(4) =a(b)/(c)`

From the Left Hand Side

`3(1)/(2) / 2(1)/(4) \\$Change both fractions to improper fractions\\=(7)/(2) / (9)/(4) \\$Change the division sign to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction\\=(7)/(2) * (4)/(9)\\\\=(28)/(18)\\\\=1(5)/(9)\\$Therefore: a=1, b=5 and c=9`
