Answer:
2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be represented by x. Then the problem statement is telling you ...
4 5/9 = 2 1/3 + (5/6)x
You can isolate the x term by subtracting 2 1/3 from both sides of the equation. (The properties of equality require that the same operation be performed on both sides of the equation.)
(4 5/9) - (2 3/9) = (2 3/9) -(2 3/9) +(5/6)x
2 2/9 = (5/6)x
The definition of the multiplicative inverse tells you that the coefficient of x can be made to be 1 if the term is multiplied by (6/5). We must do that to both sides of the equation.
(6/5)(2 2/9) = (6/5)(5/6)x
(6/5)(20/9) = x . . . . simplify
120/45 = x . . . . . . do the multiplication
8/3 = x = 2 2/3 . . . . . . . reduce the fraction
The number is 2 2/3.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The number we're looking for is multiplied by 5/6 and the result has 2 1/3 added to it. To find the number, we "undo" these operations, in reverse order. We undo the addition by subtracting the amount that was added. We undo the multiplication by multiplying by the inverse of that factor.
This is the sort of logic that you would use to fill in the blank for ...
7 = 1 + 3×___
You probably recognize that this breaks down into two problems:
7 = 1 + ___ . . . . . (6 goes in the blank)
and
6 = 3×___
You may notice that for all of these problems, a good knowledge of addition and multiplication facts is useful.
Answer:
The answer is: C. 4 & 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given information:
- Each card number is multiplied by its next larger integer.
- The range is between 15 and 200, not exactly between 15 and 200.
For A:
- 3*4 = 12 doesn't meet the condition for the lower limit.
For B:
- 15*16 = 240 doesn't meet the condition for the upper limit.
For C:
- 4*5 = 15 meets the condition for the lower limit.
- 13*14 = 182 meets the condition for the upper limit.
For D:
- 5*6= 20 doesn't meet the condition for the lower limit.
{(3,2),(6,4),(9,6),(12,8)} is the function!
