Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
4 juniors out of a total of 10
4/10 = 0.4
X ÷ 9 = 6
Multiply both sides by 9
x ÷ 9 • 9 = 6 • 9
x = 54
Answer:
Fraction of bread used in the recipe is 3/12 which can be further simplified into 1/4
Explanation:
The original loaf of bread is 100% complete (no fraction is taken from it yet). This means that the value of the original loaf is 12/12
Now, assume that the fraction used in the recipe is x
We know that:
2/12 of the loaf was used in making a sandwich
7/12 of the oaf was put in the refrigerator
Therefore:
complete loaf = fraction used in making a sandwich + fraction used in making recipe + fraction put in refrigerator
12/12 = x + 2/12 + 7/12
12/12 = x + 9/12
x = 12/12 - 9/12
x = 3/12
Hope this helps :)
Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction
--------------------------------------------
Convert 6&1/2 to an improper fraction
6&1/2 = (6*2+1)/2
6&1/2 = (12+1)/2
6&1/2 = 13/2
--------------------------------------------
Do the same for 9&1/4
9&1/4 = (9*4+1)/4
9&1/4 = (36+1)/4
9&1/4 = 37/4
--------------------------------------------
Now multiply the improper fractions 13/2 and 37/4. Multiply straight across
(13/2)*(37/4) = (13*37)/(2*4)
(13/2)*(37/4) = 481/8
--------------------------------------------
The last step is to use long division to find the mixed number equivalent of 481/8
Or we an say
60*8 = 480
So 60*8+1 = 480+1
which means
481/8 = (480+1)/8 = 480/8+1/8 = 60&1/8
Making the final answer to be choice C
Another way to get the answer is to convert 481/8 into a decimal to get 60.125 and then convert that back to a mixed number. You should get 60&1/8
The scale factor would be -8 because...
126 inches / 7 inches = 8 inches.
Because the car is bigger than the scale, it would be a negative scale factor.
