Equation to find number: \frac{1}{n} - 3 = \frac{20}{n}

Number's value: n = -\frac{19}{3}



Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the unknown number.

The reciprocal basically makes the number (n in this case) a fraction. So, that being said, the reciprocal of n would be \frac{1}{n}.

The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number (\frac{1}{n}) would be \frac{1}{n} - 3.

The quotient of 20 and the number (n) would be \frac{20}{n}.

So, with this information we've gathered so far, we can come up with an equation to find what the number equals.

Equation: \frac{1}{n} - 3 = \frac{20}{n}

To find what the number equals we must solve the equation.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people living in Georgia = 10,100,000

Number of people living in per square mile = 170

So, we need to find the area of the state :

So, Area of the state is given by

\frac{\text{Total Population}}{\text{ Number of people per square mile }}\\\\=\frac{10100000}{170}\\\\=59411.76\\\\=59400(\text{ nearest hundred }mi^2)

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
