I need help with multiplying & division of fractions, stat.

Wolflet
Sorry my head hurts erm

mattador
(hell) No thank you.

Commando Queen
I dunno;.. im trying to get linear equasions down

Ms Flower
give me a sample and Ill see what i can do

dammit...where are all my nerd friends?

two cities 2 1/4 inches apart. If 1/4 inch on the map represents 50 miles, what is the number of miles in the distance between the two cities?

Commando Queen
holy shit.. i think my brain just exploded

Sir Mist
450?

feck it.

lol.. i hate math with a passion.. like i said were working on linear equasions that means we gotta figure out

y=Mx+b with a pair of coordnets.. uber confusing

Dr. Strangelove
50 X 5= 250 miles

I'm pretty sure this is right.

Oh please, no one has time to explain 2nd grade math to you. Use this source below to understand basics of fractions.

OMG, Simple math!!!

How did you get 50x 5?

He has 2 and 1/4 inches.

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1 inch.
2 inches = ^ *2 = 8
plus the extra 1/4 = 9

So..it should be 50 x 9?

mattador
no expression

Im outta here, lol.

Commando Queen
same here.. my brain hurts enough

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1
^.......^.......^.....^.....^
50 + 50 + 50 + 50 = 200

1 + 1 = 2
^....^....^
200 200 400

Sooo.....if 1 is 200 and 1/4 is 50.....then 2 1/4 will be...

450!!!

Gosh.... mad

stick out tongue I went back to what I posted thinking I was all confused, but I couldnt find what was wrong...damn you for confusing me!

JToTheP
ty dr.....one down...

Phoenix Aska
what kind of math is this?

like basic math or algebra or what?

JToTheP
pre-algebra

Phoenix Aska
ah i see lol

this is what i taught my sister like a week ago

I'm in Algebra and i had Pre-Algebra last year and i still could figure that out?

Sir Mist
I have an exam in 45mins shock

Phoenix Aska
thats like the junk they give you in college when you take math 101...its annoying

450 miles

Raven Guardia
I got 450 also.

2 1/4 and every 1/4= 50

1/4= 50

split the two miles into 1/4's there are 8 of them because there is 4 quartes in a whole. there for 50+50 eight times =400 plus the 1/4 that was given equals 450 miles.

**** that no expression

Spearhead
So many ways to get the same answer geek

2 1/4 = 9/4... 1/4=50...9*50=450

that's the most difficult math I've done this year...

You might need a proper solutions, perhaps.

Using the formula:

Actual distance (Da) = Map distance (Dm) x Scale distance (Ds)

Find Da, if

Dm = 2 1/4 = 2.25 in
Ds = 50 mi per 1/4 in = 200 mi/in

Solution:

Da = (Dm)(Ds)
Da = (2.25 in)(200 mi/in) ; inch unit cancelled out

Da = 450 mi

silver_tears
we've established that one stick out tongue

Jury
I know. But i am showing the proper solution. stick out tongue

Spearhead
proper, shmoper...stick out tongue

silver_tears
gah one eye bring on the next one

Jury
What is 8 raised to 1/3 power?

silver_tears
2

Jury
happy

silver_tears
I'm an advanced calculus babe geek

Jury
oh ok. i am an advanced engineering math. confused

Spearhead
ooh, I would've gotten that one...had I been paying attention.

Bleh, you two are way ahead of me, math wise happy

Jury
happy that's ok, jere-dude. cool

silver_tears
University math sucks ass disgust
And our curriculum places a huge requirement on fractions erm
