2 (3a + 4)
first use the distributive property
6a + 8
then divide by 6 to get a by itself
6a/6 + 8/6
a = 1 1/3
Let's add up all of the other sports except baseball (which we don't know)
1/3 + 1/8 + 5/12 Common denominator is 24 so let change them to 24ths
8/24 + 3/24 + 10/24 = 21/24 Since all the sport put together can be represented by the number 1, we will do 1 - 21/24
Instead of 1, I will use 24/24 (which means 1)
24/24 - 21/24 = 3/24 or 1/8 reduced. 1/8 of the student named baseball as their favorite sport.
Step-by-step explanation: you divide the ft. all together and then add.
