Answer:

1/2 ÷ 3/10 = 1/2 × 10/3

1/2 miles per 3 and 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of that fraction.

In other words: a ÷ (b/c) = a × (c/b)

So for the first part of problem 11,

1/2 ÷ 3/10 = 1/2 × 10/3

This can be simplified and written out for the second part of problem 11 as,

1/2 miles per 3 and 1/3 hours

Answer:  The correct answer:

  " [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] " ; is the value for the first blank space for Problem #11 ;

_______________________

And for the final answer:

_______________________

 " [tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles per hour " .

_______________________

Step-by-step explanation:

_______________________

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]  ;

 →  {since "dividing by a number" is the same thing as "multiplying by the reciprocal of that said number."} .

_______________________

So:  " [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] " ; is the reciprocal of " [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] " ;

We can put: " [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] " ; in the "first answer box" in "Problem # 11 ".

_______________________

Now, we can continue solving the problem:

_______________________

We have:

_______________________

" [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] " ;

_______________________

Let us Cancel out the "2" ; and change to a "1" ; and

         Cancel out the "10" ; and change to a "5" ;

 →  {since: " [10 ÷ 2 = 5] " ;  and since:  " [2 ÷ 2 = 1] " ;

And we can rewrite the expression as:

_______________________

"  [tex]\frac{1}{1} * \frac{5}{3}[/tex] " ;

→ [tex]\frac{1}{1} * \frac{5}{3} = 1 * \frac{5}{3} = \frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ;  which is our answer:  in miles per hour.

_______________________

The correct answer:

  " [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] " ; is the value for the first blank space for Problem #11 ;

_______________________

And for the final answer:

_______________________

 " [tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles per hour " .
