3rd part of stumbling upon questions I don't get. Eeee ><;
-if 5a=3 and 3b=5, what is the value of a/b?
-Micheal gave Sally 1/3 of his baseball cards and Heidi took 1/4 of WHAT WAS LEFT. What fraction of his cards did Micheal have left?

Answers and clear explanations are appreciated!

5a=3 and 3b=5
first one divide both sides by 5 to get
a = 3/5
second one divide both sides by 3 to get
b = 5/3
a/ b = (3/5) /(5/3)
multiply it by its reciprocal
3/5 * 3/5
a/b = 9/25
2.) michael has x cards
sally took 1/3
so he has (2/3)x cards left
heidi took 1/4 out of those (2/3)x cards
1/4*2/3 = 1/6
2/3 - 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2
he has 1/2 of his original cards
first one divide both sides by 5 to get
a = 3/5
second one divide both sides by 3 to get
b = 5/3
a/ b = (3/5) /(5/3)
multiply it by its reciprocal
3/5 * 3/5
a/b = 9/25
2.) michael has x cards
sally took 1/3
so he has (2/3)x cards left
heidi took 1/4 out of those (2/3)x cards
1/4*2/3 = 1/6
2/3 - 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2
he has 1/2 of his original cards

1.) If 5a = 3,
a = 3/5
If 3b = 5,
b = 5/3
a / b = (3/5) / (5/3)
a / b = (3/5)(3/5)
a / b = 9/25

2.) Remainder = x
x = 1/4 of 1/3
x = (1/3)(1/4)
x = 1/12
Michael had 1/12 of his cards left.
