Since we are talking about real quantities (hours), x should be positive. Also, you need to take into account that Wendy needs to play in order to win game levels.
Therefore the domain will be: x > 0
Answer:
You will have 128 orange marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as an equation
Variable x = number of orange marbles
3/8 = 48/x
Cross multiply
3 × x = 8 × 48
3x = 384
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable
3x ÷ 3 = 384 ÷ 3
1x = 128
x = 128
128 orange marbles
Check work:
Substitute the variable x for the answer
3/8 = 48/128
Cross multiply
3 × 128 = 8 × 48
384 = 384
If the numbers equal, the answer is correct
1/3 would be greater because
1/3 of 12= 4 while
1/4 of 12 = 3
to check your work you would get a calculator (if possible) and divide 3by 12 or 4 by 12 then if you get .33 (divide 3 by 12 like 3/12) its 1/3. if its .25 (divide 4 by 12 like 4/12) its 1/4
Complete question :
A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 52%.
a. Write the markdown as a decimal. b. Write an expression for the sale price of the hardcover book.
Answer:
0.52 ; 0.52b
Step-by-step explanation:
The markdown percentage = 52%
Expresaing markdown as a decimal :
52% = 52 / 100 = 0.52
Expression for the sale price of hardcover book:
Original price = b
Price was marked down by 0.52
Hence, sales price becomes ;
Original price * markdown
b * 0.52
0.52b
9/16+ 1/2
= 9/16+ (1*8) / (2*8)
= 9/16+ 8/16 (common denominator is 16)
= (9+8)/16
= 17/16
= (16+1)/16
= 16/16+ 1/16
= 1+ 1/16
= 1 1/16
The final answer is 1 1/16~
