27 answers
From the information above, $\frac 25$ of the students play a sport. Of these, $\frac 14$ play football. Multiplying these fractions, we get $\frac 25 \cdot \frac 14 = \boxed{\frac{1}{10}}$.
At West High School, 2/5 of the students play a sport. Of the students who play a sport, 1/4 play football. What fraction of the students at West High School play football?
A 1/10
B 1/3
C 1/5
D 2/3
E 2/9
A 1/10
B 1/3
C 1/5
D 2/3
E 2/9
We have $\frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{5\cdot4} = \frac{2}{20}$. Simplifying the fraction gives $\frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10}$. Therefore, the fraction of students at West High School that play football is $\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}.$
what?
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's correctly solve the problem.
If $\frac{2}{5}$ of the students play a sport, then the fraction of students who don't play a sport is $1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$.
Since $\frac{1}{4}$ of the students who play a sport play football, we need to find $\frac{1}{4}$ of $\frac{2}{5}$ to get the fraction of students at West High School that play football.
We can calculate this by multiplying $\frac{2}{5}$ by $\frac{1}{4}$:
$\frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{20} = \boxed{\frac{1}{10}}.$
Therefore, the fraction of students at West High School that play football is $\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}.$

so the answer is 1/10 ?
Yes, I apologize for the confusion earlier. The correct answer is indeed $\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}$.
Just say 1/10 don't gotta make it harder than it actually is dude.
Apologies for the unnecessary complexity. Indeed, the answer is $\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}$.
4 1/3 ÷ -1 1/5
Find the quotient above.
A 3 11/18
B −4 1/3
C −3 11/18
D 4 1/3
Find the quotient above.
A 3 11/18
B −4 1/3
C −3 11/18
D 4 1/3
To divide mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions.
$4\frac{1}{3}$ can be written as $\frac{13}{3}$.
$-1\frac{1}{5}$ can be written as $-\frac{6}{5}$.
Now, we divide $\frac{13}{3}$ by $-\frac{6}{5}$:
$\frac{13}{3} \div (-\frac{6}{5})$
Invert the divisor and multiply:
$\frac{13}{3} \cdot (-\frac{5}{6})$
Simplify:
$\frac{13 \cdot (-5)}{3 \cdot 6}$
$=\frac{-65}{18}$
The quotient is $-\frac{65}{18}$.
Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\text{(C)}\ -3\frac{11}{18}}$.
$4\frac{1}{3}$ can be written as $\frac{13}{3}$.
$-1\frac{1}{5}$ can be written as $-\frac{6}{5}$.
Now, we divide $\frac{13}{3}$ by $-\frac{6}{5}$:
$\frac{13}{3} \div (-\frac{6}{5})$
Invert the divisor and multiply:
$\frac{13}{3} \cdot (-\frac{5}{6})$
Simplify:
$\frac{13 \cdot (-5)}{3 \cdot 6}$
$=\frac{-65}{18}$
The quotient is $-\frac{65}{18}$.
Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\text{(C)}\ -3\frac{11}{18}}$.
BRO SO IT'S -3 11/18?? YOUR MAKING IT COFUSING WITH ALL THE { } STUFF STOP THAT DANG
Apologies for any confusion. Yes, the quotient is indeed $\boxed{-3\frac{11}{18}}$.
Bro you're making me mad stop doing {-3\frac{11}{18}}$.
Apologies for any confusion caused. The correct quotient is $-\frac{65}{18}$. Expressed as a mixed number, it is $-3\frac{11}{18}$. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{-3\frac{11}{18}}$.
Nevermind weirdo

5.36 × -3.1
To multiply decimals, we can start by ignoring the decimal points and multiplying the numbers as if they were whole numbers.
$536 \times 31 = 16616$
Next, we determine the placement of the decimal point in the product. Since there are a total of 2 decimal places in the original numbers, we will have 2 decimal places in the product.
Therefore, $5.36 \times -3.1 = \boxed{-16.616}$.
$536 \times 31 = 16616$
Next, we determine the placement of the decimal point in the product. Since there are a total of 2 decimal places in the original numbers, we will have 2 decimal places in the product.
Therefore, $5.36 \times -3.1 = \boxed{-16.616}$.
Divide:
11.1÷3
11.1÷3
To divide decimals, we can use the same method as dividing whole numbers, with one additional step.
First, divide 11 by 3:
$11 \div 3 = 3 \frac{2}{3}$
Then, look at the decimal part. Since we have one decimal place in the dividend (11.1) and no decimal places in the divisor (3), we need to place the decimal point in the quotient according to the number of decimal places in the dividend.
$3 \frac{2}{3}$ is equivalent to $3.2$. So, $11.1 \div 3 = \boxed{3.7}$.

−1/6 ÷ 2/9
−1/6 ÷ 2/9
When dividing fractions, we can multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.
Reciprocal of $\frac{2}{9}$ is $\frac{9}{2}$.
So, we can rewrite the division problem as:
$-\frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{9}{2}$
Next, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
$-\frac{1\cdot 9}{6 \cdot 2} = -\frac{9}{12}$
To simplify further, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3:
$-\frac{3\cdot 3}{3\cdot 4} = -\frac{3}{4}$
The simplified form of $-\frac{1}{6} \div \frac{2}{9}$ is $\boxed{-\frac{3}{4}}$.
Reciprocal of $\frac{2}{9}$ is $\frac{9}{2}$.
So, we can rewrite the division problem as:
$-\frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{9}{2}$
Next, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
$-\frac{1\cdot 9}{6 \cdot 2} = -\frac{9}{12}$
To simplify further, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3:
$-\frac{3\cdot 3}{3\cdot 4} = -\frac{3}{4}$
The simplified form of $-\frac{1}{6} \div \frac{2}{9}$ is $\boxed{-\frac{3}{4}}$.
(2.5)(−1.3) =
To multiply decimals, we can follow the same process as multiplying whole numbers:
$2.5 \times (-1.3) = -3.25$
So, $(2.5)(-1.3) = \boxed{-3.25}$.
$2.5 \times (-1.3) = -3.25$
So, $(2.5)(-1.3) = \boxed{-3.25}$.
-4.32 × -1.25
To multiply decimals, we can follow the same process as multiplying whole numbers:
$-4.32 \times -1.25 = 5.4$
So, $-4.32 \times -1.25 = \boxed{5.4}$.
$-4.32 \times -1.25 = 5.4$
So, $-4.32 \times -1.25 = \boxed{5.4}$.
