5/16 ÷ 5/12 3 1/5 • 2 3/4
6 3/8 ÷ 2 1/4
i need all of these to be reduced to lowest term, if someone could do a step by step process that'd be great. thank you :)

1.) 3/4

2.) 44/5 or 8 4/5

3.) 17/6 or 2 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 5/16 ÷ 5/12

To divide a fraction by another fraction, reciprocate (put the numerator to denominator and vice versa) the divisor then change the sign to multiplication:

5/16 × 12/5

5 × 12 / 16 × 5

Cancel out 5 since both numerator and denominator has it:

12 / 16

Divide both by 4:

12 ÷ 4 / 16 ÷ 4

3/4

2.) 3 1/5 • 2 3/4

You have to convert the fractions first to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator to the whole number then adding the numerator to the product:

3 1/5 = 3×5 + 1 = 16/5

2 3/4 = 2 × 4 + 3 = 11/4

Now you can multiply the numerator to numerator then denominator to denominator:

Since 16 is a factor of 4, you can cancel it out, which leaves 4:

16 / 5 × 11/4

4 × 11 / 5 × 1

44/ 5

3.) 6 3/8 ÷ 2 1/4

Convert to improper fraction:

6 3/8 = 6× 8 + 3 = 51/8

2 1/4 = 4 × 2 + 1 = 9/4

(51 × 4)/ (9×8)

51 × 1/ 9× 2

51 / 18

Divide by 3:

17/6

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
