Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{36}{48}=\dfrac{3\cdot 12}{4\cdot 12}=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot\dfrac{12}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 1=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Effectively, divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 12.

What is 72 x 1/4?<br>I have no clue!

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly you can just use a calculator for this.

But if you want to know how to actually do it, multiplying something by a fraction is just dividing it by its reciprocal (just flipping the numerator and the denominator).

Therefore...

72/4 is 18, 72 x 1/4 = 18

1/3y+11=1/2y-3<br><br> What is y???

olga55 [171]

Answer:

$y=84$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)y+11=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)y-3$

Use distributive property.

$\frac{1}{3}y+11=\frac{1}{2}y-3$

$\frac{1}{3}y+11-11=\frac{1}{2}y-3-11$

$\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{1}{2}y-14$

$\frac{1}{3}y-\frac{1}{2}y=\frac{1}{2}y-14-\frac{1}{2}y$

$-\frac{1}{6}y=-14$

$\left(-\frac{1}{6}y\right)\left(-6\right)=\left(-14\right)\left(-6\right)$

$y=84$
