Mathematics

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify the first expression.

Distribute.

1/4(8y-12) = 1/4 * 8y + 1/4 * -12

8y * 1/4 = 8y / 4 = 2y

-12 * 1/4 = -12 / 4 = -3

1/4(8y-12) = 2y - 3

2y - 12 != 2y - 3

So it is not equivalent.

Please solve the problem. If you solve correctly I will give u the brainlist.
Schach [20]

Answer:

the teacher bought 100 balloons, and 95 of them were left for the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

red balloons is given, 40.

first you find the green balloons.

<em>the number of green balloons is 3/5 the number of red balloons.</em>

3/5 * 40 = 24

so there are 24 green balloons.

next is yellow balloons.

<em>the number of green balloons is 2/3 the number of yellow balloons.</em>

24 = 2/3 * x

24 ÷ 2/3 = x

24 ÷ 2/3 = 36

there are 36 yellow balloons.

find the total balloons:

40 + 24 + 36 = 100

the teacher bought 100 balloons.

1/20 of the red balloons popped.

1/20 * 40 = 2

2 of the red balloons popped

1/12 of the green balloons popped

1/12 * 24 = 2

2 of the green balloons popped.

1/36 of the yellow balloons popped

1/36 * 36 = 1

1 yellow balloon popped

2 + 2 + 1 = 5

100 - 5 = 95

there were 95 balloons left for the party.

The cost of 7/2 meters of clothes is $231/4. What is the cost of one meter of cloth?
klio [65]
First of all, i will start by comparing the given values. That will be;
7/2 meters=$231/4
     1 meter= x
  I represented the unknown value by x. Anyway, you have to cross and multiply. SO 7/2 multiplies x to give you 7/2x and 1 multiplies 231/4 to give you 231/4. That will be;
7/2x=231/4
  Divide the both sides by 7/2. 
   7/2x÷7/2=231/4÷7/2
   When dividing fractions, the division sign changes to a multiplication sign and the fraction on the right turns upside down. So;
x=231/4 x 2/7
x=231/14
x=$33/2.
 Hope i helped.

Simplify and express the answer as a decimal. 3(2.7+5)−2 Enter your answer in the box.
Volgvan
First, add 2.7 and 5 to get 7.7. Then, multiply 7.7 and 3 to get 23.1. Finally, subtract 2 from 23.1.

If you're distributing, then multiply 3 by 2.7 and 5. Then, add and subtract the sum by 2.

Hope this helped!
