Answer:
7/2 = m
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use cross products to solve
3 6
--- = ------
m 7
3*7 = 6*m
Divide each side by 6
21/6 = 6m/6
7/2 = m
Answer: 2 1/3
Explanation:
10 2/6 - 7 5/6
You can make both a fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, and then adding the numerator to that number, and keeping the denominator the same. So, 10*6 = 60 and 60 + 2 = 62 and you keep the denominator as 6, which would make 62/6
7*6 = 42 and 42 + 5 = 47 so 7 5/6 becomes 47/6
10 2/6 is equivalent to 62/6
7 5/6 is equivalent to 47/6
This just makes it easier to look at.
Now you just work through the equation.
62/6 - 47/6 = 15/6
15/6 = 2 3/6 = 2 1/3
Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.
Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x
3/x = 5/8 - 3/12
Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24
3/x = 9/24
Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8
3/x = 3/8
Obviously this means x = 8
They’re similar bc all sides have the same scale factor
Answer: r=(-189)
first you subtract both sides by 8 and get -21=r/9
then you multiply 9 with each side and get -189 = r
you can check by rewriting the problem with -189 as r and solving the equation
