Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6/4=(6-1)/(4-x)
6/4=5/(4-x)
6(4-x)=4(5)
24-6x=20
-6x=-4
x=4/6
x=2/3
2/3 of an inch should be cut off the width.
100,000 30,000 7,000
the first one i believe
The answer would be +3 since ur adding 3 every time
Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation:
An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:
We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.
5/8 of y = 15
5/8 × y = 15
0.625 × y = 15
0.625y = 15
Divide both side by 0.625
0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625
y = 24
The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9
Answer:
Fred is 28 yrs old. Nathalie is 12yrs old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Nathalie's age be x
Let Fred's age be a
x+a=40 yrs•••••1
4x+a=76yrs•••••2
a=40-x
Substitute a for 40-x in equation (2)
4x+40-x=76
3x=76-40
3x=36
x=12
a=40-12
a=28
