Theres a saying: Dividing fractions dont ask why, just flip the second and multiply.
so a/b / c/d = a/b * d/c
-8/2 * -3/6
1. cross - cancel common factor 2
4/2 * -3/3
2. Multiply
-4(-3)/ 2*3
3. multiply numbers
--12/2*3
- -12/6
4. Apply fraction rule -a/b=- a/b
=-(-12/6)
5. divide
= -(-2)
6. Apply rule -(-a)=a
=2
Your answer would be 2
The key words you should notice when looking at this word problem are “less than.” This means that the order is flipped, so “3 less than k” means “k minus 3.”
The expression for the ratio is k-3:k+3
Hope this helps
Answer:
16 apples.
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of apples, Px=$4
Price of tomatoes, Py=$3
Ratio of their Marginal Utilities
Since Natalie’s income is $320
320 = xPx+yPy
Since x=16, Natalie will consume 16 apples.
