X+2/4 = 3/8 solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h3>X=-1/8=-0.125</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

x+2/4=3/8

2/4=1/2 (First, use the common factor of 2.)

x+1/2=3/8

x+1/2-1/2=3/8-1/2 (Then, subtract 1/2 from both sides.)

3/8-1/2 (Solve.)

3/8-1/2=-1/8

-1/8=-0.125

x=-1/8=-0.125

In conclusion, the final answer is x=-1/8=-0.125.

Will the product of 2 2/5 x 1/6 be larger or smaller than 2 2/5
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 * 1/6 = 2/

5

= 0.4

Conversion a mixed number 2 2/

5

to a improper fraction: 2 2/5 = 2 2/

5

= 2 · 5 + 2/

5

= 10 + 2/

5

= 12/

5

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 5. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 5/

5

= 10/

5

b) Add the answer from previous step 10 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 10 + 2 = 12

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 12) over the denominator 5.

Two and two fifths is twelve fifths

Multiple: 12/

5

* 1/

6

= 12 · 1/

5 · 6

= 12/

30

= 2 · 6/

5 · 6

= 2/

5

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(12, 30) = 6. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 6 gives 2/

5

.

In other words - twelve fifths multiplied by one sixth = two fifths.

A piece of string is 112 inches long. Isabel wants to cut it into 2 pieces so that one piece is three times as long as the other
lukranit [14]
Answer:28inches & 84inches

First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...

112=3x+x

Now lets solve for x.

112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x

Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.

28*3=84 inches
28+84=112
