Yes, the above answer is correct, 8/12.
Although 8/12 does not simplify to 3/4, it simplifies to 2/3.

Answer:

3/4 or 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is Probability.

The favourable outcome you want is EITHER black OR white

Probability of BLACK + Probability of WHITE = 7/12 + 1/12 = 8/12

Then simplify into 3/4

Combined rates

Susan = 2 car / 3 hr
= 2/3

Joe = 3 car / 4 hr
= 3/4

add the rates to get the new combined rate as 17 cars in "t" hours.

2/3 + 3/4 = 17/t

Need common denominator

2/3(4/4) + 3/4(3/3) = 17/t

8/12 + 9/12 = 17/t

17/12 = 17/t

see that "t" is 12 hours

Answer:

178.67

Step-by-step explanation:

One third written as a fraction is 1/3. You can also write it as a decimal by simply dividing 1 by 3 which is 0.33.

If you multiply 0.33 with 536 you will see that you will end up with the same answer as above.

You may also find it useful to know that if you multiply 0.33 with 100 you get 33.33. Which means that our answer of 178.67 is 33.33 percent of 536.

(3n-4)=3(n+4)
3n-4=3n+12
no solution

There wouldn’t be a solution to this equation because the n cancels out when you subtract 3n-3n.
