1/3 oranges were spoiled.....u threw away 4 oranges...
1/3 of what = 4....
1/3x = 4
x = 4 * 3
x = 12 oranges
1/4 grapefruits were spoiled....u threw away 7
1/4 of what = 7
1/4x = 7
x = 7 * 4
x = 28
so ur fruit basket contained 12 oranges and 28 grapefruits before u discarded the spoiled ones
Answer:


Find the multiplicative inverse of the following
(i) -13 (ii) -13/19 (iii) 1/5 (iv) -5/8 × -3/7 (v) -1 × -2/5
(vi) -1
Solution:
The reciprocal of a given rational number is known as its multiplicative inverse. The product of a rational number and its multiplicative inverse is 1.
(i) The Multiplicative inverse of -13 is -1/13
∵ -13 × (-1/13) = 1
(ii) The Multiplicative inverse of -13/19 is -19/13
∵ -13/19 × (-19/13) = 1
(iii) The Multiplicative inverse of 1/5 is 5
∵ 1/5 × 5 = 1
(iv) The Multiplicative inverse of -5/8 × -3/7 is 56/15
∵ -5/8 × (-3/7) = 15/56 and 15/56 × 56/15 = 1
(v) The Multiplicative inverse of -1 × -2/5 is 5/2
∵ -1 × (-2/5) = 2/5 and 2/5 × 5/2 = 1
(vi) The Multiplicative inverse of -1 is -1
∵ -1 × (-1) = 1
The 8h stands for how much she makes an hour the 15t is how much she makes per tablet she sells. two terms in the expression, h and t, because you are solving for them. t for part c
