Out of the 14641 times Voldemort has brushed his teeth, only 5/11 of the time did he floss immediately beforehand. How many times total has Voldemort NOT flossed right before brushing his teeth?

In this question, we want to find a fraction of a value, which is found multiplying the fraction by the value.

Information:

Voldemort has brushed his teeth 14641 times.

5/11 of the time, he has flossed immediately beforehand.

of the time, he has NOT flossed immediately beforehand.

How many times total has Voldemort NOT flossed right before brushing his teeth?

6/11 out of 14641, so:

6*14641/11 = 7986.

Thus, Voldemort has NOT flossed right before brushing his teeth 7986 times.

For another example with a fraction of a value, you can check

Lord Voldemort did not floss his teeth 7986 times.

According to this question, we know the following two facts:

1) Lord Voldemort has brushed his teeth 14641 times.

2) He flossed his teeth beforehand only of the time.

There, he did not floss his teeth of the time and the total number of time that he did not floss is obtained by multiplicating the total number of times that he brushed his teeth and the rational number deducted at the beginning of the paragraph. That is to say:

Lord Voldemort did not floss his teeth 7986 times.

the transverse axis of a hyperbola is the line that contains the two vertices and the two focuses.

in this example (hyperbola of equation x^2/2 - y^2/4 = 1), the transverse axis is the  x-axis  .
