1/4x - 2 = 3/8
First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).
Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.
Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.

Answer:
4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The possibilities of transportation: (The first will be for morning, second will be for afternoon)
B, B
B, C
B, T
C, B
C, C
C, T
T, B
T, C
T, T
It is clearly seen that there are 9 transportation options.
(Using cab 1 time we have BC, CB, CT, TC. So four of the transportation methods use cab one time.)
Therefore, the probability that she will use a cab only once is 4/9.
Answer:
1. Two ribbons, A and B. One third of A is equal to all of B. Draw a tape diagram to show the ribbons.
2. Half Robert’s piece of wire is equal to 2/3 of Maria’s wire. The total length of their wires is 10 feet. How much longer is Robert's wire than Maria's?
3. Half Sarah’s wire is equal to 2/5 of Daniel’s. Chris has 3 times as much as Sarah. In all, their wire measures 6 ft. How long is Sarah’s wire in feet?
