Answer:

x/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of a pan of brownies leftover.

=1/4 of x

=1/4*x

=x/4

If Carter and two of his friends shares the leftover=3 people

Each friend will get

x/4÷3

=x/4×1/3

=x/12

Find the solution of 2/3x+1/4=-4/3

These questions can be daunting at first, but they're pretty simple to solve.

First, we need to establish a common denominator. We have 2 / 3, 1 / 4, and
-4 / 3. The least common denominator we can get is by multiplying 4 and 3 together to get 12. So we will change the denominator as follows;

2 / 3, 1 / 4, -4 / 3 = 8 / 12, 3 / 12, -16 / 12

Now we can put these back into the equation.

8/12x + 3/12 = -16/12
8x + 3 = -16

It's simple math from here on out, but I'll show the process. What we can basically do now is take away the denominator because it doesn't matter now that it's common.

Subtract 3 from both sides. Now we have 8x = -19

Dividing by 8 on both sides of the equation will get you your answer.

x = -19/8

Hope this helps!

A desk is 2 meters long and 1 meter wide. The desk needs to be represented in a scale drawing of an office that uses a scale of

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

<em>Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

The scale factor established to represent a desk 2 meters long and 1 meter wide is:

1 centimeter = 0.5 meter

We need to convert the real dimensions to the scaled dimensions. To complete the task, it's a good idea to multiply the real dimensions by the ratio:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}$

to get the scaled dimensions.

The length of 2 meters is scaled to:

$\displaystyle 2\ m\frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}=4\ cm$

And the width of 1 meter is scaled to:

\displaystyle 1\ m\frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}=2 cm

Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.
