15. would be 1/2 because if you simplify 16/32 to 8/16 (dividing by 2 each time), then to 4/8, then 2/4, and lastly 1/2
you really dont need to do all of that because 16/32 is already 1/2 (16 is half of
32)
16. the answer would be 7/12 because if you divide 21/36 both by 3 you get 7/12 and you cant go any more simpler.
(n-21)/2=4n is the equation
First, divide what is in the parentheses by 2
0.5n-10.5=4n
Then, multiply the whole equation by 2 so we have all whole numbers
n-21=8n
Move N so that it is with 8n
7n=-21
Divide 21 by 7
n=-3
Solution: The number (n) is equal to -3
Answer:
R = -8 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll solve the given equation for R.
Subtract 3 1/2 from both sides of the equation, to isolate R:
R + 3 1/2 - 3 1/2 = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2, or
R = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2
The LCD here is 6, which is the product of 3 and 2. Converting the fractions to denominator 6, we get:
R = -4 4/6 - 3 3/6, or
R = -7 - 7/6, or R = -7 - 1 1/6, or -8 1/6
8 16/1000 = 8 2/125
Keep whole number the same, divide the numerator and denominator by 8.
