Hi!

Let's write the equation in number form first.

7 over 8
7/8

minus 1
7/8 - 1

over x
7/8 - 1/x

equals 3
7/8 - 1/x = 3

over 4
7/8 - 1/x = 3/4

Now to find the value, let's put each option as the value for x.

A. x = 1
7/8 - 1/1 = 3/4
7/8 - 1 = 3/4
0.875 - 1 = 0.75
-0.125 = 0.75
This is wrong.

B. x = 2
7/8 - 1/2 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.5 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.5 = 0.75
0.375 = 0.75
This is wrong.

C. x = 4
7/8 - 1/4 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.25 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.25 = 0.75
0.625 = 0.75
This is wrong.

D. x = 8
7/8 - 1/8 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.125 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.125 = 0.75
0.75 = 0.75
This is correct!

The answer is d. x = 8

Hope this helps! :)

Find all natural numbers n such that 1+3+5+7+...+(2n-1) sum is divisible by 4
Ierofanga [76]

n ∈ natural even numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + … + (2n-1)

  • a = 1
  • b = 2
  • Uₙ = 2n - 1

sum of the first n terms :

Sₙ = n/2(a + Uₙ)

Sₙ = n/2(1 + 2n - 1)

Sₙ = n/2(2n)

Sₙ = n²

∴ so, the solution of n is all natural even numbers

A florist is arranging flowers in vases. There are 4 red flowers and 5 white flowers in every vase. The florist wants to make on
vichka [17]

There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of red flowers in vase = 4

No. of white flowers in vase = 5

Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 4:5

No. of red flowers in large arrangement = 32

No. of white flowers in large arrangement = w

Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 32:w

Using proportion;

Ratio of red flowers to white flowers :: Ratio of red flowers to white flowers

4:5::32:w

Product of extreme = Product of mean

4*w=32*5\\4w=160

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4w}{4}=\frac{160}{4}\\w=40

Total flowers in large arrangement = Red flowers + white flowers

Total flowers in large arrangement = 32 + 40 =72

There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.
