Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert the mixed number to fraction:
- Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number.
- Add the product obtained and the numerator of the fraction.
- Write the sum obtained as the numerator and rewrite the original denominator of the fraction.
Then:
2. Multiply the numerators.
3. Multiply the denominator.
4. Reduce the fraction.
Then:
The two quantities we want to analyze are
and
We wonder if the first if 12 times the second. Let's compute them both to begin with:
and
So, the question is: is 341682 twelve times 131880? The check is very simple:
So the answer is no
Answer:
If:
(1)
And we have to rewrite the following expresion in terms of :
(2)
Firstly we have to rearrange the right side of equation (2) in terms of , factorizing by the common factor:
Then, we can substitute by
:
And set it equal to zero:
>>>>This is the resulting equation
Now, each term of an algebraic expresion (like the equation above) is composed of sign, coefficient, variable and exponent. The terms are separated from each other by the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-).
In this case, the variable is and the number that multiplies the variable (the coefficient) is
, whereas the constant (which is the term with no variable) is
