OK, so for this equation, your goal is to get the d, and ONLY the d, on one side of the equation. So, to start out, you need to multiply the entire equation, meaning both sides, by 8 because we are trying to get rid of those pesky fractions.
8(1/8(3d-2)=1/4(d+5))
The equation then turns into this because the 8 and 4 cancelled out with the 8.
1(3d-2)=2(d+5)
Now, we need to distribute the left over numbers into the parenthesis.
3d-2=2d+10
And finally, we need to get the d's on one side, and the numbers on the other, so we subtract 2d from both sides and add the 2 to both sides. They then cancel out to make
d=12
Hope it helps! :)
45 divided by 3= 15 then 15 times 4 =60 mph
8/11 is the answer
I use this trick: When tryig to find repeating numbers divide by 11 or 9
When dividing by 9 the numerator will be the first number in the decimal
When dividing by 11 the numerator will be one more than the first number in the decimal
So we need to find a number that has the same ratio to 64 as 3 has to four. We do this by diving 64 into 4:(this is 16): so the two ratios are different by 16. To find the remaining number we multiply 3 by 16: this is 48. So 48 has the same ratio to 64 as 3 has to 4.
And 48 is the answer!
