You want to make the fractions have the same denominator.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
now subtract the numerator and keep the denominator the same...
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
5 1/2 is the answer
Answer:37.4x
Step-by-step explanation:
X=2.412 is the correct answer
Answer:
y = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use an ordered pair from the table.
Using x = 2 when y = 12, then
12 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )
6 = k
y = 6x ← equation of variation
When x = 7, then
y = 6 × 7 = 42
