Answer:
<em>2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
<em>A jar can hold 3/4 of a pound of flour. Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar. What fraction of the jar is filled? Enter your answer in numerical form.</em>
<em />
Given
<em>Amount a jar can hold a = 3/4 of a pound of flour</em>
<em />
<em>If Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar, then the amount emptied into the jar b = 1/2 pounds</em>
<em />
<em>Fraction of jar filled will be expressed as b/a as shown;</em>
<em>b/a = (1/2)/(3/4)</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 ÷ 3/4</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 * 4/3</em>
<em>b/a = 4/6</em>
<em>Simplify to the lowest term</em>
<em>a/b = 2*2/2*3</em>
<em>a/b = 2/3</em>
<em />
<em>Hence 2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>
We know,
1 unit : 5 feet
so, 120 ft = (120 / 5) units
= 24 units
75 ft = (75 / 5) units
= 15 units
∴ Dimensions of scale drawing is 24 units by 15 units.
Answer:
um
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x > -12
-2x + 12 < 36
Subtract 12 from both sides
-2x < 24
Divide both sides by -2
Because you divided by a negative number, flip the sign
x > -12
Check
Choose a value for x
-11 > -12
-2(-11) + 12 < 36
22 + 12
34 < 36; is True
