Ruby says that 4/5 divided by 2/15 = 14/15. What error did Ruby make? A. Ruby added instead of divided. B. Ruby divided 2/15 by 4/5 instead of 4/5 by 2/15. C. Ruby divided by 2 instead of dividing by 2/15. D. Ruby multiplied by 2/15 instead of 15/2 multiplying by .

A. Ruby added instead of divided

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find a common denominator (15), and then multiply by the reciprocal and simplify your final answer

12/15 times 15/2 equals 180/30 which, when simplified equals 6

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
