Lan wants to run less than 7/12 miles. It says to find out a fraction with a denominator of 4 and which is less than 7/12.

Let's assume the required fraction to be x/4 such that x/4 is less than 7/12.

\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12} \\\\ 3*\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12}*3 \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{21}{12} \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{7}{4} \\\\ 3x < 7

So we must have multiples of 3's that should be less than 7, we have only two choices 3 < 7 or 6 < 7.

It means x = 1 or x = 2, and the required fraction would be 1/4 or 2/4.

2/4 is simplified to 1/2 and the question says to have denominator 4.

Hence, final answer is 1/4

Solve: x2 − x − 6/x2 = x − 6/2x + 2x + 12/x After multiplying each side of the equation by the LCD and simplifying, the resultin
Vesna [10]

The resulting equation after simplyfing the given equation is 3x^2 + 20x + 12 = 0 and whoose solutions are x = -2/3 or x = -6.

According to the given question.

We have an equation

\frac{x^{2}-x-6 }{x^{2} } = \frac{x-6}{2x} +\frac{2x+12}{x}

So, to find the resulting equation of the above equation we need to simplify.

First we will take LCD

\frac{x^{2} -x - 6 }{x^{2} } = \frac{x -6+2(2x + 12)}{2x}

\implies \frac{x^{2}-x-6 }{x^{2} } =\frac{x-6+4x+24}{2x}

\implies \frac{x^{2}-x-6 }{x^{2} } = \frac{5x +18}{2x}

Multiply both the sides by x.

\frac{x^{2}-x-6 }{x} = \frac{5x+18}{2}

Again multiply both the sides by x

2x^{2} -2x-12 = 5x^{2} +18x

\implies 5x^{2} -2x^{2} +18x +2x +12 = 0

\implies 3x^{2} + 18x+2x + 12 = 0

Factorize the above equation

⇒3x(x+6)+2(x+6) = 0

⇒(3x + 2)(x+6) = 0

⇒ x = -2/3 or x = -6

Hence, the resulting equation after simplyfing the given equation is 3x^2 + 20x + 12 = 0 and whoose solutions are x = -2/3 or x = -6.
