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

Answer:

5/4

Explanation:

The division of fractions can be calculated as:

$\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\times d}{b\times c}$

Therefore, 10/12 ÷ 4/6 is equal to:

$\frac{10}{12}\div\frac{4}{6}=\frac{10\times6}{12\times4}=\frac{60}{48}=\frac{5}{4}$

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
