Answer:

<em>Any of the numbers 5,6,7,8,9 could be the divisor of the problem.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Division</u>

If I divide a number and get a remainder of 4, then the divisor must be greater than 4. A divisor of 4, for example, would lead to a remainder of (maximum) 3.

Thus, our divisor can only be one among the numbers: 5,6,7,8,9. If the dividend is exactly 4, then the divisions

4/5, 4/6, 4/7, 4/8, and 4/9

they all produce the same remainder of 4.

Thus, any of the numbers 5,6,7,8,9 could be the divisor of the problem

1/2s=4s-21 I don't understand

Dimas [21]

$\frac{1}{2} s$ = 4s - 21

First, simplify $\frac{1}{2} s$ to $\frac{s}{2}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{s}{2} = 4s - 21$
Second, multiply both sides by 2. / Your problem should look like: $s = 8s - 42$
Third, subtract 8s from both sides. / Your problem should look like: $s - 8s = -42$
Fourth, simplify s - 8s to -7s. / Your problem should look like: $-7s = -42$
Fifth, divide both sides by -7. / Your problem should look like: $s = \frac{-42}{-7}$
Sixth, simplify $\frac{42}{-7}$ to $- \frac{42}{7}$ / Your problem should look like: $s = \frac{42}{7}$
Seventh, simplify $\frac{42}{7}$ to 6. / Your problem should look like: $s = 6$

Oaklands zoo has two elephants. The male elephant weighs 3/4 a ton and the female elephant weighs 1/4 of a ton. How much does th

SOVA2 [1]

so if you take away 1/4 from 3/4 you will get 2/4

3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 or 1/2

so the male elephant weights 1/2 a ton more than the female

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y-16x=12

Mice21 [21]

The formula for slope is y=mx+b
so if you re arrange the equation from 8y-16x=12
to 8y=16x+12
the slope will be the coefficient of x =16
