Subtract 5 from both sides.
Subtract 8n from both sides.
Divide both sides by -9 to solve for n.
The value of n is
-4/9.
Answer:
Green and Blue ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
They collect
Red Ribbon = ½ mile
Green Ribbon = ⅛ mile
Blue Ribbon = ¼ mile
To find?
Which colors of ribbons will be collected at the ¾ mile mark.
The interpretation of the question is to test which of the above fractions can divide ¾ without a remainder; in other words, multiples of ¾.
Testing each fraction.
Red Ribbon = ½
¾ ÷ ½
= ¾ * 2
= 3/2
= 1.5 or 1 Remainder 1
This is not an exact multiple of ¾. So, the red ribbon won't be passed here.
Green Ribbon = ⅛
¾ ÷ ⅛
= ¾ * 8
= 24/8
= 3
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the green ribbon will be collected.
Testing the last ribbon
Blue = ¼
¾ ÷ ¼
= ¾ * 4
= 3
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the blue ribbon will be collected.
Hence, the green and blue ribbons will be collected at ¾ mile mark
