From the information provided by the statement, you know that

*Ann draws 2/16 of the playground

*Susan draws 6/16 of the playground because she draws 3 times as much as Ann so

3\cdot\frac{2}{16}=\frac{3}{1}\cdot\frac{2}{16}=\frac{6}{16}

*Louise draws 3/16 because she draws half as much as Susan, so

\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{6}{16}=\frac{6}{32}=\frac{2\cdot3}{2\cdot16}=\frac{3}{16}

*Sam draws 2/16 because she draws 1 less section than Louise

\frac{3}{16}-\frac{1}{16}=\frac{2}{16}

Now, let x be the fraction of the playground that still needs to be drawn. Then, you have

\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{16}+\frac{6}{16}+\frac{3}{16}+\frac{2}{16}+x=\frac{16}{16} \\ \text{ Add similar terms} \\ \frac{13}{16}+x=\frac{16}{16} \\ \text{ Subtract }\frac{13}{16}\text{from both sides of the equation} \\ \frac{13}{16}-\frac{13}{16}+x=\frac{16}{16}-\frac{13}{16} \\ x=\frac{3}{16} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 3/16 of the playground still needs to be drawn.

Suppose the 13 inch is aware cost $.78 at the same rate how much (in cents) will 33 inches of wire cost
miskamm [114]
When comparing to thing with same rate, set up a proportion:
Inches/cost

13/.78=33/x
(13)(x)=(.78)(33) [cross multiplied]
13x=25.74 [simplified]
13/13x=25.74/13 [division property]
x=1.98

33 inches of wire will cost $1.98.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 1/4 (8y -12) equivalent to 2y - 12? No. 1/4 (8y-12) equals out to 2y-3 not 2y-12. To solve the system of equations below, grace isolated the variable y in the first equation and then substituted into the second equation. what was the resulting equation? 3y=12x x^2/4+y^2/9=1
