Katie has 4 1/2 ponds of flour. She uses 3/4 of it to bake brownies. How much flour does she need to make brownies? Basically I need to know if I divide or multiple?

1/3 and you divide

Step-by-step explanation:

41/2 = 9/2

3/4 ÷ 9/2

3/4 ×2/9 = 6/18

6/18 = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay. 4 and 1/2 simplifies to the improper fraction, 9/2. And 3/4 of it would mean we MULTIPLY it by the total, 9/2 pounds. (Whenever we see OF, we know that the operation is multiplication.) I think that you can do the rest from here, but I'll include a solution at the bottom if you still need help.

...

(9/2)*(3/4)=(9*3)/(2*4)=27/8=3 and 3/8 pounds of flour used to make brownies.

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1

its (2) option
