Divide by 2 and find out.
4/9 / 2
Multiply by its reciprocal:
4/9 * 1/2
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
4/18
4/18 does not equal 8/18, so 4/9 isn't half of 8/18.
Answer:
13 pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the pens and y be the pencils
Given:
Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95.
Total pens and pencils is 22
So, 
----------------(1)
And he bought all utensils for $11.95. and each pen for 75 cents and pencils for 40 cents.
------------(2)
solve equation 1 and equation 2 for x and y.
From equation 1.
----------------(3)
put y value in equation 2.
Now substitute x value in equation 3.
So, he buy 13 pencils.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the easier approaches to graphing a linear equation such as this one is to solve it for y, which gives us both the slope of the line and the y-intercept.
x-3y=-6 → -3y = -x - 6, or 3y = x + 6.
Dividing both sides by 3, we get y = (1/3)x + 2.
So the slope of this line is 1/3 and the y-intercept is 2.
Plot a dot at (0, 2). This is the y-intercept. Now move your pencil point from that dot 3 spaces to the right and then 1 space up. Draw a line thru these two dots. End.
Alternatively, you could use the intercept method. We have already found that the y-intercept is (0, 2). To find the x-intercept, let y = 0. Then x = -6, and the x-intercept is (-6, 0).
Plot both (0, 2) and (-6, 0) and draw a line thru these points. Same graph.
first you turn the fractions into inproper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denomonator and adding the numerator
4×4=16
16+3=19
19/4
4×7=28
28+1=29
29/7
keep the denomonators the same. now that you've converted them into inproper fractions you can multiply them
19/4 × 29/7=551/28
there is no way to simplify this answer so this is the final answer
