Answer: -43/20
Step-by-step explanation: you just need a college calculator to solve ,you need to just plug the numbers and it will do it for you.
Sold 2/5 in the morning.....leaving 3/5
he sold 3/4 of 3/5 in the afternoon......3/4 * 3/5 = 9/20
2/5 = 8/20
9/20 - 8/20 = 1/20...so he sold 1/20 more in the afternoon.
so if 1/20 = 24, then 20/20 = 24*20 = 480
so he started with 480 cartons
The answer to a divisionproblem
You need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/4. The reciprocal is 4/3 and 4/3 multiplied by 9 = 12. So x = 12 because a number times the reciprocal is one.
