Which values of a b and c correctly represent the answer in simplest forrn class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

The equation becomes

[tex]1\frac{7}{19}=a\frac{b}{c}[/tex]

Therefore,

  • a = 1
  • b = 7
  • c = 19

Hence, option (C) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

[tex]3\frac{1}{4}\div 2\frac{3}{8}\:=a\frac{b}{c}[/tex]

Solving the L.H.S of the equation

[tex]3\frac{1}{4}\div \:2\frac{3}{8}=\frac{13}{4}\div \:2\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

               [tex]=\frac{13}{4}\times \frac{8}{19}[/tex]

               [tex]=\frac{13\times \:2}{1\times \:19}[/tex]

                [tex]=\frac{26}{1\times \:19}[/tex]

                 [tex]=\frac{26}{19}[/tex]

Converting improper fraction to a fixed number: [tex]\frac{26}{19}=1\frac{7}{19}[/tex]

                 [tex]=1\frac{7}{19}[/tex]

Thus, the equation becomes

[tex]1\frac{7}{19}=a\frac{b}{c}[/tex]

Therefore,

  • a = 1
  • b = 7
  • c = 19

Hence, option (C) is true.
