Answer:
Final answer is 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Mrs Jenkins picked some tomatoes from her garden. She used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce. Then she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. Now we need to find about what fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad.
Since she used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce.
Then remaining amount of tomatoes = 1- 5/9 = 9/9 -5/9 = 4/9
Then she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. So fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad = (4/9)(3/4)=12/36=1/3
Hence final answer is 1/3.
Start by removing the brackets.
m = -4 - m + 2 Notice that the m inside the brackets becomes - m
m = -2 - m Add m to both sides
m+m = - 2
2m = - 2 Divide by 2
2m/2 = -2/2
m = -1
