The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is
x + 3/8 = 1
Change 1 to a denominator of 8.
x + 3/8 = 8/8
Subtract 3/8 from both sides.
x = 5/8
Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.
Answer:
5 + 2x = 6
2x = 6-5
2x = 1
x = 0.5
n -3n = 14 -4n
-2n = 14-4n (since 4n is negative, change the sign to make it positive and then add 4n to both sides of the equation)
2n = 14
n = 7
7 (5a - 4) - 1 = 14 - 8a
35a - 28 - 1 = 14 -8a
35a -29 = 14 - 8a
43a = 43
a = 1
Answer:
6.8+3.4=10.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of an object is found by adding all of the sides. The sides of his frame would be 2 ft, 2 ft, 1.5 ft (18 inches / 12 inches per foot = 1.5 feet), 1.5 feet. Adding these together we get a total length of 7 feet. However, he may want to use a slightly longer board to account for any errors!
