Answer:
x=6/5 or 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
I could not tell if your original problem was 2=-5x+8 or if it should have been 2x=-5x+8 so I solved both
2= -5x+8 (next subtract 8 from both sides)
-6= -5x (divide both sides by -5)
-6/-5=x (the negative cancel out next)
6/5 or 1.20 is x
If your original problem should say 2x=-5x+8
2x=-5x+8 (add 5x to both sides next)
7x=8 (divide by 7 on both sides)
x=8/7
The area is 3/8 yd².
Area = length x width
Given:
length = 3/4 yard
width = 1/2 yard
Area = 3/4 yd * 1/2 yd
Area = 3*1/4*2
Area = 3/8 yd²
In multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators, then, multiply the denominators. lastly, simplify the fraction. 3/8 yd² is already in its simplest form.
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
700-400=300
6-2=4
300/4=75
Answer:
Larger fraction = 24/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Smaller fraction = 8/3
Larger fraction = ?
Let the larger fraction is x/y then according to the statement:
8/3 / x/y = 7/9
Rule: When there is a fraction in the denominator of a fraction, the lower fraction is reversed and multiplied with the upper one.
So, according to rule:
8/3 * y/x = 7/9
8y/ 3x = 7/9
Now multiplying both sides by 3/8 we get
8y/ 3x * 3/8 = 7/9 *3/8
After cancellation:
y/x = 21/ 72
By reducing it to lowest form (dividing both by 3)
We ge:
y / x = 7/ 24
This means y= 7
x = 24
So the larger fraction will become: x/y =24/7
Smaller fraction / Larger fraction = 7/9
8/3 / 24/7 = 7/9
Applying Rule:
8/3 * 7/24 = 7/9
56/ 72 = 7/9
Reducing it to lowest fraction: (dividing both by 8)
7/9 = 7/9
Hence proved
I hope it will help you!
