If Ian uses 1/20 of the ketchup 4 times, this is equal to 4/20, or
.
can be simplified to
, which means we need to work out
of 12.2
is equivalent to 20%, which as a decimal is 0.2
0.2 x 12.2 = 2.44 - however, this is how much he has
used, and we need to figure out how much is left.
12.2 - 2.44 = 9.76
So, Ian has 9.76 oz remaining :)

Answer:
The answer is 7/24.
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached a picture, but I'll try to walk through it here.
1) A negative and a negative makes a positive, so h becomes positive.
2) I added 7/8 to both sides, in order to "isolate the variable", which simply means to get h by itself, on one side of the equation (you'll likely hear it said both ways).
3) I multiplied 7/8 by 3/3, and multiplied -7/12 by 2/2. This is known as a common denominator, which in this case is 24. You can only add and subtract fractions that have a common denominator.
4) Multiply both of the fractions to get 21/24 + (-14/24). "Adding a negative" is the same thing as subtracting.
5) 21 - 14 = 7, and since our denominators are the same, the answer is 7/24.
You can confirm the answer by substituting, or "plugging" 7/24 into your original equation, in place of h.
1. x=−y+8−z
2.x=−7−4y−5z (everything over 4)
3.x=2−z
1.y=-x+8-z
1.z=-x+4-y
2.y=7+4x-5x (everything over 4)
2.z=7+4x-4y (everything over 5)
3.z=2-x
