X/3=1351/7
cross multiply
7x=4053
divide by seven on both sides
x=579
I'm going to assume you mean:
13 * (3/4) + x = 7 * (1/4)
Let's go ahead and simplify the right side.
7 * (1/4) = 1.75
So now we have:
13 * (3/4) + x = 1.75
Now let's take care of the right side. Multiplication before addition.
13 * (3/4) = 9.75
9.75 + x = 1.75
To isolate x, we subtract 9.75 from both sides.
9.75 - 9.75 + x = 1.75 - 9.75
x = -8
Hopefully I spaced this well. \('-')/
Answer:
-5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
You first change -7/12 to -14/24, and 3/8 to 9/24 so they have the same denominator. You then do -14/24 + 9/24. That will be the same as the opposite of the answer to 14/24 - 9/24.
14/24 - 9/24 = 5/24
-5/24
32.5 % of lab are wireless devices
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that there was a total of 30 computers and the computer lab is removing 3 broken computers and adding 13 wireless devices
Now we can first find out total number of computers and devices in lab
total number of computers and devices in lab = 30 computers - 3 + 13 wireless devices
total number of computers and devices in lab = 30 - 3 + 13 = 40
So there are 40 computers and wireless devices in lab
<em><u>To find: what percent of the lab are wireless devices</u></em>
So we have to find what percent of 40 is 13
Let "a" be the required percent
a % of 40 = 13

32.5 % of of lab are wireless devices
