Im gonna assume you mean 6 - (1/3)x = -1. Your notation is not super clear. If so, solution is as follows:
6 - (1/3)x = -1 [subtract 6 from both sides]
-(1/3)x = -7 [multiply both sides by -3]
x = 21
PART A - So the ruler is 22.86 centimeters tall, and after measuring with an inch ruler, is also 9 inches tall.
ruler = 22.86cm
ruler = 9 in
You can equate 22.86cm and 9in because they both equal the length of the ruler (transitive property).
22.86cm = 9in
Then you can write a proportionality equation.
Part B -
Cross multiplying,
Part C - We can use something called dimensional analysis - multiplying 12 cm by (1in/2.54cm) - in order to change the units from inches to cm. This is possible because 1in = 2.54cm, the fraction 1in/2.54cm = 1. And also the units cm will cancel out.
To get the answer first you need to divide 160 by 4 and you should get 40 then you multiply 40 by 6 and get 240.the answer is 240
