Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 (2x - 8)=4.

Multiply each side by 3

1/3 *3(2x - 8)=4.*3

2x-8 = 12

Add 8 to each side

2x-8+8 =12+8

2x = 20

Divide each side by 2

2x/2= 20/2

x = 10

Answer:

$4\frac{1}{2}$ feet further.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are mixed numbers that are both in fourths, we can easily subtract the two numbers. However, I find it easier if we first convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.

$5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5\cdot4+1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}$

$9\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9\cdot4+3}{4} = \frac{39}{4}$

Now we can subtract the numerators:

$\frac{39}{4} - \frac{21}{4} = \frac{39-21}{4} = \frac{18}{4}$

$\frac{18}{4}$ simplifies down to $\frac{9}{2}$ .

Converting $\frac{9}{2}$ to a mixed number is easy - 2 goes into 9 4 times (8) with one remainder so:

$4\frac{1}{2}$ .

Hope this helped!

Answer:

12, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 of 32 is 12. She ate 3/8, so she ate 12 apples. The question wants to know how many are left over, so you subtract 12 from 32 and get 20.
