Work out the top subtraction first:

3/9 - 8/12

= 1/3 - 2/3

= 1/3

and the bottom part:-

3/8 * 2 = 6/8 = 3/4

so now we divide -1/3 by 3/4

= -1/3 * 4/3 = -4/9

Why is it important to look at more than the first two numbers of a pattern to decide the rule for the pattern?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

This is important because, the first few numbers might seem to follow a pattern but subsequent numbers might reveal a change in the rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

When studying patterns it is important to evaluate all the figures holistically instead of drawing conclusions based on just the first few numbers because there might be a change in what we felt was obvious on close observance of all the numbers. For example, observe the pattern;

2,4,6, 10, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24

The first two numbers show the addition of two. If a person decides to add 2 to all the figures, he would be wrong because after the first three figures, he would have to add 4 to the numbers.

Which of the following inequalities is equivalent to 3-(w+2)>4+2w

Kay [80]

$3 - w - 2 > 4 + 2w \\ - w - 2w > 4 + 2 - 3 \\ - 3w > 6 - 3 \\ \frac{ - 3w}{ - 3} > \frac{3}{ - 3} \\ w < - 1$
The sign at the end changes because both sides of the equation are being divided by a negative number.
