Grade: 7-b Lesson: S5-L7

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Steps	Problem	Solution
1	Simplify	\$ (-7/4) \div (-3/8) \div 2/6 \$
2	By using the formula \$(1/a) \div (1/b) = (1/a) \times b\$	\$ (-7/\cancel4^1) \times (-\cancel8^2/3) \div 2/6 \$
3	After cancellation	\$ (14/3) \div 2/6 \$
4	After simplification	\$ (\cancel14^7/\cancel3^1) \times \cancel6^2/\cancel2^1 \$
5	After cancellation	\$ 7 \times 2\$
6	Answer	C = \$ 14 \$

Steps

Problem

Solution

Simplify

\$ (-7/4) \div (-3/8) \div 2/6 \$

By using the formula \$(1/a) \div (1/b) = (1/a) \times b\$

\$ (-7/\cancel4^1) \times (-\cancel8^2/3) \div 2/6 \$

After cancellation

\$ (14/3) \div 2/6 \$

After simplification

\$ (\cancel14^7/\cancel3^1) \times \cancel6^2/\cancel2^1 \$

After cancellation

\$ 7 \times 2\$

Answer

C = \$ 14 \$
