Answer is the B Sure let’s gooo
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines stand for absolute value ( how far a number is from 0), so each number should be a positive, then you just solve for x. Isolate x, then divide on both sides, and you should get -x=1, which is equal to x=-1.
38.1 seconds I believe simply divide 4m/s into 152.4 m and you will have 38.1 seconds
Answer:
Your question was a bit confusing so I found another related question. You can reference it with your own details.
A vendor bought 10 dozen eggs at the rate of Rs 22 per dozen. Six of the eggs were rotten. He sold the remaining eggs at the rate of Rs 2.50 per egg . Find his profit or loss
Vendor bought 10 dozen eggs which means the vendor bought:
= 10 * 12 eggs
= 120 eggs
6 were rotten and he sold the rest for Rs. 2.50 per egg.
= (120 - 6) * 2.5
= Rs. 285
The amount he spent on the eggs was:
= 10 dozen * 22
= Rs. 220
Profit = 285 - 220
= Rs. 65
