Math

The struggles I’ve had in chapter 3 are after the first quiz, on 3-5, 3-6, 3-7, and 3-8. but mostly on 3-7, I couldn’t seem to get the answers right! So there would be the question 7 / 2/3 =                       , and I would take the number 7 and turn it into a fraction, 7/1, like it said in the book, but then I would forget to flip it so it would look like: 7/1 * 2/3= 14/3 = 4 2/3, but it is supposed to be 1/7 * 2/3= 2/21.

Where in life did you use problems like that?

I used a problem like 7 / 2/3 was when my sister wrote a problem for school, and she wanted me to solve it, it was 9 * 5/6=                   .  I had to solve it to make sure it was good for her class, but I doubt it was for her class, so I took the number 9 and turned it into 9/1 and then flipped it so it looked like 1/9, and then I did 1/9 * 5/6 and that equaled 5/54.
