Answer:
equals nothing. cannot be multiplied or divided. does not change a number when added or subtracted
Here is the solution of the given problem above.
First, let's analyze the question.
Given: 1 bag = 9/10 pound
2/3 bag = ? pound
What we are going to do is to divide 9/10 pound to 3.
so 9/10 divided by 3 and we get 9/30 and to simplify that, 3/10.
So per 1/3 of the bag, there is 3/10 pound.
To get the weight for 2/3 of the bag, we multiply 3/10 by 2 and we get 6/10 or to simplify it, it is 3/5. Therefore, the 2/3 bag weights 3/5 pound. Hope this answer helps.
( 'x' is not 144 .)
The supplement of an angle is (180 - x) .
The problem says that (2/3) of 'x' is equal to (180 - x) .
180 - x = 2/3 x
Multiply each side by 3 :
( Note: 3 x 180 = 540 .)
540 - 3x = 2x
Add 3x to each side:
540 = 5x
Divide each side by 5 :
<u>x = 108°</u> .
With the 3 colors - red=1, yellow=2 and green=5 - adding up to 8, that is one quarter the total of 32. Multiply each by 4 and you'll have - 4:8:20.
