\dfrac7{24}=\dfrac6{24}+\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac14+\dfrac1{24}

\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac1{8\time3}=\dfrac a8+\dfrac b3=\dfrac{3a+8b}{24}
\implies3a+8b=1

We can choose a=-1 and b=\dfrac12, so that

\dfrac1{24}=-\dfrac18+\dfrac16

Recalling that \dfrac13=0.333\ldots, it follows that \dfrac16=0.166\ldots. So,

\dfrac1{24}=0.125+0.166\ldots=0.04166\ldots
\implies\dfrac7{24}=0.25+0.4166\ldots=0.29166\ldots

Please help me with this
erica [24]

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's easier for you, you can replace n(a) with y and put a as x.

Now the equation is y = 7x + 4.

It asks you to put in 39 as y.

39 = 7x + 4.

To solve this, the goal is to isolate the variable on one side. The first step I see is to subtract the 4 from both sides.

35 = 7x

Now divide both sides by 7 and we're done!

5 = x

<h3>Answer: Choice E</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Think of 25 as 25/1 and 5 as 5/1

Choice E is really saying \frac{25}{1} \div \frac{5}{1} which becomes \frac{25}{1} \times \frac{1}{5}. Note the second fraction flips and we change to a multiplication sign.

------------

Or you could think of it like this:

25 \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{25}{1} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{25*1}{1*5} = \frac{25}{5} = 25 \div 5

to help see why the answer is E.
