To solve, simply know that 1/5 of 20 is 4. How did you get that? You do 1/5x20. Which is 20/5. The answer is 4. Now multiply 4 by 4. 16. Now the left over 1/5 is 4. So, 4 is how many girls there are. (Make sure to label)

How do you solve this 2 step equation: 8+b/-4=5

Delicious77 [7]

I'm going to rewrite the equation assuming this is the correct form:
$8 - \frac{b}{4} = 5
\newline
-8 + 8 - \frac{b}{4} = 5 - 8
\newline
(-4)\cdot -\frac{b}{4} = -3 \cdot (-4)
\newline
b = -12$

translate this into an expression: the quotient of a number, x, and 8, could you please explain it to me?

Xelga [282]

Answer:

x/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are given "the quotient of...". This means that we are dividing something/something else. If two numbers are given in the phrase "something and something else", the first number given will be the something, and the second number will be the something else.

The first number listed is x. Therefore, we have

x/something else.

Next, we are given "and 8", so we have x/8 as our expression
