We need 1/2 of 3/4. So it'll look like this: 
(3/4)/2

So! We need to work with this fraction inside a fraction. To do so take the denominator and flip it. Then multiply across. 

3/4 * 1/2

3/8

Or you can think of it like this!

3/4 is 0.75. 

0.75/2 is 0.375 or in fraction form 3/8.

You can find the fraction form of 0.375 like a so... : 
(Each time I divide both the numerator and denominator by 5)

375/1000
75 / 200
15 / 40
3 / 8

I would say it's 3/8 of a cup because if you multiply 3/4 by 2 it would be 6/8. It's the same amount but just a different measurement. Now just take 3 away from 6/8 and you have 3/8 which is half of 3/4.

masha68 [24]

The histogram representing the data is attcwhwd in the picture below.

Answer:

C On exactly 25% of these days, Shane drank 3 to 4 glasses of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of 8 - ounce glasses is represented on the x - axis and the number of days on the y - axis.

From the histogram ;

Shane drank 1 - 2 glasses on exactly 1 day

Shane drank 3 - 4 glasses on exactly 3 days

Shane drank 5 - 6 glasses on exactly 6 day

Total number of days = 12

60% of 12 = 7.2

On exactly 60% of the days, which is 7.2 days, number of glasses drunk isn't covered by the histogram

25% of 12 ; 0.25 * 12 = 3 days

From the histogram, number of glasses consumed is 3 - 4 glasses ; which is the only true statement about the histogram in the options given.

company x has 50 employees and company y has 60 employees. both companies have the same number of full-time employees, but compa
Sloan [31]

Using the simplification, company y has 17 number of part-time employees.

In the given question we have to find how many part-time employees does company y have.

From the question, company x has 50 employees and company y has 60 employees.

Both companies have the same number of full-time employees, but company y has 3 more than twice the number of part-time employees that company x has.

Let company x has A number of part-time employees.

According the given statement

Company y has number of part-time employees = 2A+3

Let company X and Y have B number of full-time employees.

So the total number of employees in company x;

A+B = 50....................(1)

The total number of employees in company x;

2A+3+B = 60

Subtract 3 on both side we get

2A+B=57....................(2)

Subtract Equation 2 and 1

2A+B-(A+B)=57-50

2A+B-A-B=57-50

A=7

Now putting the value of A in equation 1

7+B=50

Subtract 7 on both side we get

B=43

As, Company y has number of part-time employees = 2A+3

Company y has number of part-time employees = 2×7+3

Company y has number of part-time employees = 14+3

Company y has number of part-time employees = 17

Hence, company y has 17 number of part-time employees.
