Question 1167715: Father bought 4 2/4m of chicken wire. How many 3/4m of chicken wires were there?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
father bought (4 + 2/4) meters of chicken wire.
how many 3/4 meters of chicken wires were there.
you would want to divide (4 + 2/4) by (3/4)
that's the same as multiplying (4 + 2/4) * 4/3
that is equal to 4 * 4/3 + 2/4 * 4/3.
that is equal to 16/3 + 8/12.
put everything under a common denominator to get:
that is equal to 64/12 + 8/12 = 72/12
72/12 = 6
that says father will get 6 pieces of chicken wire, each measuring 3/4 meters long.
you can confirm this is true by using your calculator to get (4 + 2/4) / (3/4) = 6.
if you want to work with improper fractions, then 4 + 2/4 = 18/4.
18/4 / 3/4 = 18/4 * 4/3 = 18/3 = 6
