Answer: No, it would be 2/5.
Step-by-step explanation: 2 1/4 - 6/7 is equal to about 1.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth. 1.4 as a fraction would be 4/10. 4/10 is simplified to 2/5 by dividing each number by 2.
When calculating consecutive integers, the smaller number is x and the larger number is (x + 1).
So the equation you can use is x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
This is because the sum of the consecutive integers are equal to 5 more than 3 times the larger integer.
Now simplify:
x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3x + 3
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Now isolate the variable:
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Subtract 2x from both sides:
1 = x + 8
Subtract 8 from both side:
-7 = x
x = -7
So the smaller number is -7 and the larger number is -6.
Now check your answer:
-7 + (-7 + 1) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 - 6 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-6)
-13 = 5 + (-18)
-13 = 5 - 18
-13 = -13
This works!
So the integers are -7 and -6.
75/3000=x/4000
times both sides by 1000
75/3=x/4
times both sides by 4
300/3=x
100=x
answer is 100 hours
