what is 10/8 of a fraction equal to a whole fraction

Question

Please help me I need to know this or my teacher will yell at me.

Answer 1

k, first of all, a teacher "yelling" at a student for not knowing something is never ok.

second, if I am following you then you want to know what is 10/8*x = 1

if this is it then the answer is 8/10 (the reciprocal) which reduces to 4/5.

 

Or is it 10/8 as a mixed number? then 10/8 = 5/4

4 goes into 5 with 1 left over so 5/4 = 1 1/4

 

if this doesn't help, let me know  and we'll try again.

Hang in there...math is hard, but if you are willing to work at it, you can get it.
