How to solve this problem: 1 1/2(n-4 1/2)=12

Vikentia [17]3 years ago

Answer:

n = 25/2, or n = 12  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's essential that you use parentheses here to show how your numerals are grouped.  I have made some assumptions here, and believe you meant:

(1  1/2)(n - 4  1/2) = 12.

First, convert 1  1/2 and 4  1/2 into improper fractions:

(3/2)(n - 9/2) = 12

Multiplying both sides by (2/3) eliminates the fractional coefficient (3/2):

n - 9/2 = (2/3)(12), or    n - 9/2 = 8.

Again, eliminate the fraction by multiplying all terms by 2:

2n - 9 = 16

Then 2n = 25, and n = 25/2, or n = 12  1/2

U would multiply 5/8 and -120/1 and you should get -600/8 but u have to make it into a mixed number which would be 75.

Instructions: y varies indirectly with x. If y = 7 when x = -4, find y when a H 2. Use the forward slash (i.e.
WARRIOR [948]

By using the given information about the inverse relation, we will get:

  • Equation: y = -28/x
  • Solution: y = -14

<h3>How to get the relation between x and y?</h3>

First, we know that y varies indirectly with x, then we can write the relation as:

y = k/x.

Where k is a constant.

Then, we know that when y = 7, we have x = -4.

Replacing these we can find the value of k:

7 = k/(-4)

7*(-4) = k = -28

Then the relation between x and y is:

y = -28/x.

Now, we want to find the value of y when x = 2, then we just replace that in the above equation:

y = -28/2 = -14

So we have:

  • Equation: y = -28/x
  • Solution: y = -14

140 fluid ounces increased by 45%
Stels [109]
Hello!

"Increase" means to add. We must find out what 45% of 140 fluid ounces is, and to do that we must first convert the percentage to a decimal and then multiply it by the amount of fluid ounces.

I know, that's probably a lot to take in! :D

45% ÷ 100 = 0.45 as a decimal

0.45 × 140 = 63

Add this to the amount of fluid ounces:

140 + 63 = 203

Final Answer:

203 fluid ounces.
