Answer: (c - 3) / 2 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
If c represents the cookies, then you remove 3 because she ate 3 of the cookies. Since half of the remainder of the cookies were given to her friend, you must divide the product of c - 3, by 2. The reason for the parenthesis is so that it overrules PEMDAS, as parenthesis goes before division.
To solve for x:
Move all the terms containing "x" to the left side of the equation. Do this by adding x to both sides.
2x+x=3x. The new equation is:
3x-1/2=3
Now, move all terms not containing "x" to the right side of the equation. Do this by adding 1/2 to both sides.
3x=3+1/2 The new equation is:
3x=3 1/2, or 3.5
The final step is to isolate x. To do so, divide each side by 3.
3x/3 = 3 1/2 /3 The new equation is:
x=1 1/6
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 : 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Women are = 3/5
So, Men Must be = 2/5
Ratio of Men to Women:
=> 2/5 : 3/5
