Answer:
The new length is 13.5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the new length of the cloth she wants to use
What we know from the question is that she is making a reduction of 10% from an initial of 15 meters
Thus, the length she is to use can be calculated by first getting what 10% of 15 meters is
Mathematically, that would be ;
10/100 * 15 = 1.5 meters
We now subtract this from the total of 15 meters
= 15 meters - 1.5 meters = 13.5 meters
Answer:
A, B, F
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 - x + 1/6 = 6x
Collect like terms
2/3 + 1/6 = 6x + x
(4+1) / 6 = 7x
5/6 = 7x
x = 5/6 ÷ 7
= 5/6 × 1/7
x = 5/42
a) 4 - 6x + 1 = 36x
4 + 1 = 36x + 6x
5 = 42x
x = 5/42
Equivalent to the last step of the simplification above
b) 5/6 - x = 6x
5/6 = 6x + x
5/6 = 7x
This is equivalent to the third step of the simplification
c) 4 - x + 1 = 6x
4 + 1 = 6x + x
5 = 7x
x = 5/7
Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above
d) 5/6 + x = 6x
5/6 = 6x - x
5/6 = 5x
x = 5/6 ÷ 5
= 5/6 × 1/5
x = 5/30
Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above
e) 5 = 30x
x = 5/30
Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above
f) 5 = 42x
x = 5/42
Equivalent to the last step of the simplification above
