Step-by-step explanation:
The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...
... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.
Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...
... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.
_____
Alternate solutions
We have computed ...
... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200
Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:
... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000
... = 24000/20 = 1200
or
... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200
Answer:
x=18, y= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
if x+y=24
x= 24- y
in second case
x= 3y
24_ y = 3y
24=4y
y= 6
hence x = 24 _6 = 18
This is true.
Example:
= 8/9 ÷ 7/3
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 7/3
= 8/9 * 3/7
= (8*3)/(9*7)
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
= 24/63
simplify
= 8/21
ANSWER: This is (A) true
