This is a division problem. First, get 12 1/3 into fraction form instead of mixed number form to make your life easier;
Now, divide the two fractions. Since this is fraction division, the reciprocal is flipped and the two fractions multiplied.
The answer from the fraction division is 16 and four-ninths, but because you need a whole number as an answer,
the answer is 16 pieces.
You take the x and change it to the other side to leave y by itself and then divide by 2 = Y=-3-x
Answer:
John is currently 6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 years ago: x years
Current time: x+2
In 6 years: x+8
EQUATION:
3(x)=x+8= 3x=x+8
(subract x from both sides)
2x=8
x=4
Therefore, John is 6 years old in current time
B.4
1/4 divided by 2
do the reciprocal
1/4 times 1/2=2/8
divide 8by 2
