I need some help I only have the answers for two i really need help. Could you also explain the process thank you :)

Answer 1

#1 , ok
#2, 3/4 ÷ (1/16) = 12
Visualize: draw a line, label it from 0 to 1 and mark it into 16 equal parts
(cut it in half, then each half into halves, etc )
Now you want to look at 3/4, which would be 12 of those 1/16 th parts
Count them
#3, 4 eighths = 4/8 = 1/2

#4, follow my steps of #2

#5
a) 3/4 = ?/16, what happened to my denominator? It was multiplied by 4, so ...

= 3*4/(4*4) = 12/16
do b) and c) the same way

#6. same as #5

#7, Use the note symbols that you learned in your music class
