Jamie has 8/10 of a candy bar, and wants to split it into an unknown number of 1/3 pieces. Our objective is to find the number of pieces.

Let the number of pieces be x.

To know the portion of the candy bar each piece is, we divide the total portion of the candy bar by the number of pieces.

So (8/10)/x = 1/3

Multiply each side by x

8/10 = 1/3x

Divide each side by 1/3 so we can have the variable x on a side, and its value on another.

(8/10)/(1/3) = (1/3x)/(1/3)

(8/10) / (1/3) = x

Dividing 2 fractions is equal to multiplying the first fraction by the inverse of the second:

(8/10) / (1/3) = x

(8/10) * 3 = x

24/10 = x

x = 2.4


Since this not a whole number, Jamie can make 2 full 1/3 pieces, and a piece of 1/10.

Or, you can easily say that Jamie can make 2.4 pieces of 1/3.

If the output number y is -52 (y=5x-2) what is the input number? SHOW WORK
nordsb [41]

Answer:

the input number is -10

Step-by-step explanation:

output is always y

input is always x

so instead of y, put -52

-52=5x-2  add 2 to each side to ger 5x by itself

-50=5x     divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself

-10=x

x is the input so the input is -10

I don’t understand the concept of this problem
maxonik [38]

Answer:

This uses the method of elimination/addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 (9x + 7y = 15)

-7 (5x + y = -9) <— let’s eliminate y for both equations

9x + 7y = 15

+ -35x - 7y = 63 <— add both of the equations

—————————————————

- 26x + 0y = 6

(Please let me know if the answer is correct or not)
