What's the answer for 3/4 (x+3)=9

1 answer:

3 0

We want to solve the equation :

$\displaystyle{ \frac{3}{4}(x+3)=9$

first, multiply both sides by 4:

$\displaystyle{ \cancel{4} \cdot \frac{3}{ \cancel 4 }(x+3)=4\cdot 9$

$\displaystyle{ 3(x+3)=36$

divide both sides by 3:

$x+3=12$

add -3 to both sides:

$x=9$

Answer: x=9

Write the percent as a decimal and as a fraction.

Svetlanka [38]

The given percent above is 215%. To convert this into decimal, let us divide this by 100. 215 / 100 and we get 2.15. So the decimal form of 215% is 2.15. Next, convert it into a fraction. Given the decimal form of 2.15, this is already equivalent to 2 15/100. To simplify this, since both 15 and 100 are divisible by 5, we get 3/20. Therefore, the fraction is 2 3/20. So the correct answer is option B. 2.15; 2 3/20.

A company manufactures skateboards. Each skateboard requires 1 6/7 hours of labor to assemble and 2 1/2 hours of labor to finish

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: The total cost will be $156.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken by labor to assemble the each skateboard is given by

$1\frac{6}{7}\ hours\\\\=\frac{13}{7}\ hours$

Time taken by labor to finish and stain each skateboard is given by

$2\frac{1}{2}\ hours\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\ hours$

Cost of labour to the company per hour = $36.00

According to question,

We will use "Distributive Property":

$a\times (b+c)=a\times b+a\times c$

$36(\frac{13}{7}+\frac{5}{2})\\\\=36\times \frac{13}{7}+36\times \frac{5}{2}\\\\=\frac{468}{7}+18\times 5\\\\=\frac{468}{7}+90\\\\=\frac{468+630}{7}\\\\=\frac{1098}{7}\\\\=\$156.85$
