If you divide 9/2 you receive 4.5. Tho when you divide 1/3 you get .33333 (repeated), so now you know that both the fractions do not correlate. Now the 'multiples' of 1/3 are 2/ 6, 3/9, 4/12, 5/15, 6/18, 7/21 and so on. If you do the 'multiples' of 2/9 you get 4/18, 6/27. The common factors are 4/18 and 6/18. So know you know that Sandy is using 2/18 (or 1/9) cups more of sugar.

I think the wording of the question is off, since 2/9 is less than 1/3. I think the question meant to say "she increases it by 2/9" thus making this an addition problem.

1/3+2/9
Dind the lcm of 3 and 9 and transform the fractions appropriately:
3/9+2/9
5/9

So Sandy used 5/9 cups of brown sugar.

What is 6 divided by 3/4 as a fraction in its simplest form
solong [7]
6 divided by 3/4 is the same as 6 being multiplied by 4/3.
6/1 multiplied by 4/3 would equal 24/3. It simplifies to 8.
I hope this helps :)

Find all solutions to the equation in the interval [0, 2π).<br><br> cos 4x - cos 2x = 0
Andrew [12]
Solve cos(4x)-cos(2x)=0  &forall; 0<=x<=2pi  ..............(0)

Normal solution:
1. use the double angle formula to decompose, and recall cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)=1
cos(4x)=cos^2(2x)-sin^2(2x)=2cos^2(2x)-1    .................(1)
2. substitute (1) in (0)
2cos^2(2x)-1-cos(2x)=0
3. substitute u=cos(2x)
2u^2-u-1=0
4. Solve for x
factor
(u-1)(u+1/2)=0
=> u=1 or u=-1/2
However, since cos(x) is an even function, so solutions to
{cos(2x)=1, cos(-2x)=1, cos(2x)=-1/2 and cos(-2x)}  ...........(2)
are all solutions.
5. The cosine function is symmetrical about pi, therefore
cos(-2x)=cos(2*pi-2x), 
solution (2) above becomes
{cos(2x)=1, cos(2pi-2x)=1, cos(2x)=-1/2, cos(2pi-2x)=-1/2}
6. Solve each case
cos(2x)=1 => x=0
cos(2pi-2x)=1 => cos(2pi-0)=1 => x=pi
cos(2x)=-1/2 => 2x=2pi/3 or 2x=4pi/3 => x=pi/3 or 2pi/3
cos(2pi-2x)=-1/2 => 2pi-2x=2pi/3 or 2pi-2x=4pi/3 => x=2pi/3 or x=4pi/3
Summing up,
x={0,pi/3, 2pi/3, pi, 4pi/3}
