3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j 
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so 
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j

to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j 
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so 
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so 
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

so j =  5/4

Answer:

6\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

2\frac{1}{3}* 2\frac{3}{4}\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\frac{7}{3} * \frac{11}{4}\\\\\frac{7*11}{3*4}\\\\\frac{77}{12}\\\\\text{77 goes into 12 6 times with 5 left over.}\\\\\boxed{6\frac{5}{12}}

what fraction of a clockwise revolution does the hour of a clock turn through when it goes from a) 4 to 7 b) 8 to 2 c) 1 to 10 ​
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

a) 3/12 = 1/4

b) 6/12 = 1/2

c) 9/12 = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance traveled by the hour hand, subtract the beginning position from the ending position. For example, in a, the distance traveled between 4:00 and 7:00 is three hours. Since there are 12 total hours on a clock, the fraction would be 3/12 (traveled/whole revolution). Simplify further to get 1/4.

The other two problems are very similar to the explanation above. Treat the second problem's ending time as 14:00, since it is two hours after 12:00.

Hope this helps!
