Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 7/8 by 1/4. (You divide the "supply" of raisins into 1/4 cup "parts".)
Multiply 7/8 by the reciprocal of 1/4 ("flip" the 1/4).
The result is 28/8, which can be simplified ("reduced") to 7.
Answer:
28.137 sq. units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a regular hexagon is
where, a is the side length.
It is given that the side length of the regular hexagon is 
.
Substitute 
in the above formula.
Therefore, the area of regular hexagon is 28.137 sq. units.
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
36% is the answer to the question
Answer:
15, 17, 19
Step-by-step explanation:
x + x+2 + x+4 = 15 + (x+2 + x+4)
3x + 6 = 15 + 2x + 21
x = 15
x+2 = 17
x+4 = 19
