Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.
We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.
(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3
This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.
Incomplete question. However, here is a similar question attached.
Solve 3x^2 + 17x - 6 = 0.
Based on the work shown to the left, which of these values are possible solutions of the equation? Check all of the boxes that apply
A X=-6
B X=6
C X=-1/3
D X=1/3
E X=0
Answer:
A and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that such question requires using completing the square method of solving equations. By using the values X= -6 and X= 1/3 we arrive at a solution.
We are given : Cost of a gallon of milk = $2.50.
Cost of a cup of yogurt = $1.20.
Total money Monica has = $20.
Number of cups of yogurt Monica can buy = x.
And inequality made is also correct
1.20x + 2.5 ≤ 20.
Now, we need to solve it for x.
Subtracting 2.5 from both sides, we get
1.20x + 2.5 -2.5 ≤ 20 - 2.5.
1.20x ≤ 17.5
Dividing both sides by 1.20, we get
1.20x/1.20 ≤ 17.5/1.20.
x ≤ 14.5833...
Because it's less than 15, so final answer is : 14 is greatest number of cups of yogurt Monica can buy.
