Q. As a fraction in simplest terms, what would you multiply the first number by to get the second?First number: 40 Second number: 3640⋅□=36
Find Fraction: First, we need to find the fraction that, when multiplied by the first number 40, gives us the second number 36. To do this, we divide the second number by the first number.Calculation: 4036=109
Simplify Fraction: Now, we should simplify the fraction if possible. However, 109 is already in its simplest form, as 9 and 10 have no common factors other than 1.
Check Calculation: We check our calculation to ensure there are no errors. Multiplying 40 by 9/10 should give us 36.Calculation: 40×(9/10)=360/10=36
