The best thing to do is to rewrite the fractions as decimals
-2/3 is approx. equal to -0.6666667
So a little past half way (to the left) between -1 and 0
1 1/5 is 1.5 so that is right between 1 and 2
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of bigger rectangle (A1)= 9×11=99
Area of smaller rectangle(A2)=8×6=48
Area of shaded region(A)=99-48=52
Ok, to solve this first you have to set up your proportion:
9/150=x/230
/ is a fraction
x= the number of vials it will take to treat 230 patients
in order to solve this, you have to cross multiply:
9 x 230= 2070
150 · x= 150x
so you get 150x=2070
then divide 2070 by 150
2070/150= 13.8
so it would take 13.8 vials of medicine to treat 230 patients
X decreased by the square of nine
x - 9^2 = x - 81
