So she divided the 2/3 between 4 friends.
So each friend got 2/3 divided by 4, which gives:
(2/3)*(1/4) = 2/12 = 1/6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.
Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.
Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12. Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.
Now we just use algebra.
x/(x+4) = 8/12
12x = 8(x+4)
12x = 8x + 32
4x = 32
x = 8
So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8
Answer:
- 57
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a + (n - 1)d
where a is the first term and d the common difference
Here a = 13 and d = - 2.5, thus
= 13 + (28 × - 2.5) = 13 - 70 = - 57
