Please help me! What is the simplest form for 21 /63 ?

kompoz [17]

So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.

First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.

So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.

Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.

Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.

A cinema has three screens last Saturday there were 500 visitors 40% went to screen 1 ,25% went to screen 2 the rest went to scr

ratelena [41]

Answer:

200 visitors went to screen 1.

125 visitors went to screen 2.

175 visitors went to screen 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find number of visitors who went to screen 1 by finding 40% of 500 as we are told that 40% of 500 visitors went to screen 1.

$500*\frac{40}{100} =5*40=200$

Therefore, 200 visitors went to screen 1.

Now we will find number of visitors who went to screen 2. We are told that 25% of 500 visitors went to screen 2.

$500*\frac{25}{100} =5*25=125$

Therefore, 125 visitors went to screen 2.

Now we will find the number of visitors who went to screen 3 by subtracting combined number of visitors who went to screen 1 and screen 2 from total number of visitors.

$500-(200+125)$

$500-325=175$

Therefore, 175 visitors went to screen 3.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer: The cost per game is $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Zhang Lei spent $20.00 during his last outing at the bowling alley. There is a one time shoe rental fee of $3.50. He spent the rest of the money on bowling a number of games.

This means that amount paid for x number of games = 20 - 3.5 = $16.5

If it took Zhang Lei 45 minutes to bowl each game and he spent 2 hours and 15 minutes bowling, total time spent in minutes is 120+ 15 = 135 minutes. Therefore, the number of games is played is 135/45 = 3

If the total number of games played cost 16.5, therefore, the cost per game will be 16.5/3 = $5.5

At a certain high school, 15 students play stringed instruments and

Aleks [24]

Answer:

0 is the probability that a randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass instrument.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of students who play stringed instruments, N(A) = 15

Number of students who play brass instruments, N(B) = 20

Number of students who play neither, N( $A \cup B$ )' = 5

To find:

The probability that a randomly selected students plays both = ?

Solution:

Total Number of students = N(A)+N(B)+N( $A \cup B$ )' =15 + 20 + 5 = 40

(As there is no student common in both the instruments we can simply add the three values to find the total number of students)

As per the venn diagram, no student plays both the instruments i.e.

$N(A\cap B) =0$

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

$P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{N(A\cap B)}{N(U)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{0}{40}\\\Rightarrow P(A\cap B) = 0$

So, 0 is the probability that a randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass instrument.
