Is 3/12 less than 2/3

2 answers:

Yes, because 3/12 can ne simplified to 1/4 and one fourth is less than 2/3 so therefore 3/12 is less than 2/3. Think of it as a pizza, if you cut the pizza into twelve pieces and eat three and then you take another pizza and cut it into three pieces and eat two, which pizza has less eaten?

Well, when you simplify 3/12 it equals 1/4 so if you multiply that by 3 and multiply 2/3 by 4 to get common denominators, you have 3/12 and 8/12, so yes, 3/12 is less than 2/3. I hope this helps cx

Hey there!

In order to find out the answer to this question, we can distribute

$-30 = 2(x - 97) \\ \\ \\ 2(x) = 2x \\ \\ 2(97) = 197$

Flip your problem around!

$2x - 194 = -30$

Add by $194$ on each of your sides

Like: $2x - 194 + 194 \\ \\ \\ -30 + 194$

Cancel out: $-194 + 194$ because they would give you the outcome of $0$

Keep: $-30 + 194 [/tex] because that'll give you: [tex]164$

Your problem becomes: $2x = 164$

Now, we have to divide by $2$ on each of the sides

Like: $\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{164}{2}$

Cancel: $\frac{2x}{2}$ because it will give you a outcome of $1$

Keep: $\frac{164}{2}$ because this will give you your answer

$Answer: x = 82$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

140 subtracted from the square of a number the result is three times the number find the negative solution

natima [27]

Answer:

$Suppose~that~the~number~is~x.\\According~to~question,\\x^2-140=3x\\or, x^2-3x-140=0\\From~the~quadratic~formula,\\x = \frac{-(-3)+\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} ~and ~x= \frac{-(-3)-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} \\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{9+560} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{9+569} }{2}\\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{569} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}\\So,~the~required~negative~number~is~\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}.$
