12 out of 36 is the same as 12/36

Both 12 and 36 are divisible by 12.

12/36 = (1 * 12)/(3 * 12) = 1/3 * 12/12 = 1/3 * 1 = 1/3

Answer: 1/3

1. What would the value of the inverse of f(x) be if x=27? *

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Y = 1/27x

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the inverse we switch places with x and y to get x = y27. In order to even out the equation, we divide both sides by 27 to get our answer. The answer would be y = x/27 or y = (1/27)x.

Apologies if I'm incorrect.

Help please ! solve for x and round the answer to the nearest tenth. need it asap , thank you

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{17}{13} = \frac{x}{4}$

To solve for x, we want to isolate x. To do this, we need to multiply both sides by 4.

$(\frac{4}{1})(\frac{17}{13}) = x$

Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.

4 • 17 = 68

1 • 13 = 13

$\frac{68}{13} = x$

Divide.

68 ÷ 13 = 5.23

Round to the nearest tenth.

5.2

Hope this helps!
