You don't need any complicated "model". Just multiply the top parts of both fractions and put the answer in the top part of the result. Similarly, the bottom part of the result is the product of the bottom parts of both fractions.

What is one eighth of half a pound?

When dividing imperial measurements, it can help to convert them first into smaller imperial measurements. In this case we can convert the pound into 16 ounces, as there are 16 ounces in a pound. Thus the question asks what is 1/8 x 1/2 x 16 oz. To multiply fractions, you multiply numerator and denominator. Thus the question simplifies to 16/16 oz, which =1. Therefore, one eighth of half a pound is 1 ounce.


What is two divided by three fifths?

(2)/(3/5) correct? Well let's remember the laws of multiplying and dividing fractions. To divide a fraction you take the reciprocal and multiply. Let's use this here. Also remember that a whole number is the same as that number over 1 to make it a fraction. For instance in this case we will say 2 = 2/1 making the actual problem (2/1)/(3/5) Now we take the reciprocal of 3/5 (which is 5/3 because (3/5) * (5/3) =1) and multiply by it making the problem (2/1) x (5/3) Now multiply the top times the top and the bottom times the bottom and you get (2*5)/(1*3) =10/3 There's the solution 10/3


How can you write a VHDL code for full adder using two half adders?

Since a fulladder can be obtained by using 2 halfadders & 1 OR gate.....so we have to call an halfadder program as well as an OR program......this can be implemented easily with the help of structural model rather than dataflow and behavoioural model


How can a system of linear equations be represented as a matrix equations?

Here is a simple way to see it that will help you both understand and remember. Take two equations in two unknowns. You can generalize later. Make a 2x2 matrix using the coefficients only. Now if you multiply this equation by the vector (x,Y) written as a column and placed on the right side of the matrix and you have the 2 equations you started with. Now put the constants, that is to say what each equation is equal to, on the right side of the = sign. If you invert the coefficient matrix on the left, the 2x2 one, and multiply both sides by that inverse, the equation is solved. There is another method known as Cramer's rule that can help you to solve equations using matrices. I suggest you look that one up if you are interested or ask for some more help!


How do you square a trinomial?

Steps in getting the square of trinomial:1. Square the first term.2. Square the second term.3. Square the last term.4. Multiply the first and second term, then, square them.5. Multiply the second and third term, then, square them.6. Lastly, multiply the first and last term, then, square them.Examples:(a+b+c)^21st step: a^22nd step: b^23rd step: c^24th step: ab^25th step: bc^26th step: ac^2Then the answer will be, a^2+b^2+c^2+ab^2+bc^2+ac^2.Hope this will help you in your assignment!
