Answer: 22 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: first convert 4 1/2 into a mixed # = 9/2
The divide that by 5 (mult by reciprocal)
Reciprocal is the # flipped so,
9/2 x 1/5
= 45/2
divide 45 by 2
5 because 25 divided by 5 is 5
I believe your answer is 8.
Three times a number less than twice the number and nine is seventeen can be written as: 3n - 2n + 9 = 17
Solve for n as follows:
3n - 2n = n
n + 9 = 17
17 - 9 = 8
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: The reason why is because the numbers you are multiplying are both less than 1 so it has to be less the factors
