Are the answers supposed to be given in decimal format, or mixed number? There's a mix of both there.So he says radius is ½ the diameter
But he's struggling with how to work out Circle 4. Any suggestions to point him in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.View attachment 36487
It doesn't state how the answers should be given I'm afraid.Are the answers supposed to be given in decimal format, or mixed number? There's a mix of both there.
If decimal answers are acceptable then simply: [imath]3 \, \dfrac{7}{8} = 3.875[/imath], and then just divide by 2.
If mixed numbers are to be used, then
[imath]3 \, \dfrac{7}{8}[/imath] divided by 2 is
[imath]\dfrac{3}{2} \, \dfrac{7}{16} = 1 + \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{7}{16}[/imath]
and now just add the fractions.
Can you finish?

Technically, I suppose you are right. I was taking the mixed number [imath]3 \dfrac{7}{8}[/imath] and dividing each "component" by 2. I don't know if there is a standard way to write that.You're missing a plus sign in the second line between the first two fractions.
\(\displaystyle 3 \,\dfrac{7}{8} \ \) divided by 2 is
\(\displaystyle \ \bigg(3 + \dfrac{7}{8}\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg) \ =\)
\(\displaystyle \dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{7}{16} \ = \)
\(\displaystyle 1 + \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{7}{16}\)
