The fraction is \frac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The denominator of fraction = x

Numerator of fraction = x-3

Fraction = \frac{x-3}{x}

According to given statement;

1 is added to the numerator, the value of the fraction becomes 3/4.

\frac{x-3+1}{x}=\frac{3}{4}\\\\\frac{x-2}{x}=\frac{3}{4}

Using cross multiplication

4(x-2)=3*x\\4x-8=3x\\4x-3x=8\\x=8

Fraction = \frac{x-3}{x}=\frac{8-3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}

Keywords: fraction, division

I need help on this question, think any of you guys could help?

Answer:

We need to find the circumference, and in order to find the circumference we must know the formula for it.

Formula for circumference of a circle;

a = 2πr

Where π is the pi(3.14 or 22/7), and r is the radius which is half of the diameter.

Since we are given the diameter, we need to find the radius. So 1/2 of the diameter (26 x 1/2) = is 13

Now we just plug in the actual values in the formula:

a = 2πr

a = 2 x 3.14 x 13

a = <u>18.84 feet</u>

But now, we need to find how many revolutions it would take to get to 500 feet.

So we divide 500 feet by 18.84 feet;

500/18.84 = 26.53, around 27 revolutions.

Eighteen less than three times a number is twice the number. Write and solve
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation to represent this. Let x represent the unknown number.

3x - 18 = 2x

Move 2x to the left side. Remember, "change the side, change the sign." Add 0 as a placeholder to the right of the equals sign.

3x - 2x - 18 = 0

Simplify like terms.

x - 18 = 0

Move -18 to the right of the equals sign.

x = 18

Now that we know x = 18, we can substitute it into the problem.

"Eighteen less than three times 18 is two times 18."

18 x 3 = 54

54 - 18 = 36

36 is, in fact, two times 18. We can check this by dividing 36 by 2.

36 ÷ 2 = 18

Barbara made a bad investment. Rather than earning interest, her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week! After just one w
pochemuha

Answer: She started with $160.

It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.

Step-by-step explanation:

If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.

t represents the number of weeks.

P represents the initial value of the investment.

r represents rate of depreciation.

From the information given,

A = $142.40

r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11

t = 1

Therefore

142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1

142.40 = P(0.89)

P = 142.4/0.89

P = 160

For her to have half of what she invested originally, then

80 = 160(0.89)^t

80/160 = (0.89)^t

0.5 = (0.89)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89

- 0.3010 = - 0.051t

t = - 0.3010/- 0.051

t = 5.9

Approximately 6 weeks
