Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer: im not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- not possible: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11
- possible: all others
Step-by-step explanation:
Obviously, all multiples of 3 and 7 can be paid.
1 cent can be added by adding a 7-cent stamp and taking away two 3-cent stamps. 2 cents can be added by adding three 3-cent stamps and taking away one 7-cent stamp. Hence any value more than 7 +2(3) = 13 cents can always be accommodated.
Amounts that are impossible:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11 cents
All other positive integer amounts are possible.
On the y-axis it would be one of the activitys and then for the x-axis it would be male and female hope this helps
