You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

Answer:\ a=-2;\ b=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 4 or x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify and solve this, let's use the quadratic formula.
So the format of a quadratic equation is supposed look like this:
Let's find a, b, c:
- a is the coefficient of x^2
- b is the coefficient of x
- c is the constant term
Now let's solve the equation.
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2x^2−5x−12=0
For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-12
2x^2+−5x+−12=0
Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-12.

Answer:
total population: 9,000
10% of 9,000= 900 students
they only surveyed 800 students so Yes the 10(800)=8,000 which is less then 9,000 or Option A
