For this case we can make the following rule of three:
1/10 scarf ------> 4/5 hour
x ------------------> 1 hour
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (1 / (4/5)) * (1/10)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/4) * (1/10)
x = 5/40
x = 1/8
Answer:
A fraction of a scarf that alison can knit in 1 hour is:
x = 1/8
-40/80 = -1/2
since when you’re multiplying fraction, you multiply the top by the top number and bottom by the bottom number. So -4 • 10 is -40 and 5 • 16 is 80. -40/80, simplified is -1/2.
Answer:
-4x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set them up as (4x-6) - (8x +2).
Then simplify.
4x-6-8x-2
4x-8x-6-2
-4x-8
