Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the Number

To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.

Equation:

Let "x" be the number.

4 is divided by a number - 4/x

3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2

"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"

4/x = 3/x-2

Solution:

Cross multiply.

4/x = 3/x-2

x(3) = 4(x-2)

3x = 4x - 8

(Combine similar terms.)

3x - 4x = - 8

- x = - 8

- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1

x = 8

Final Answer:

8

Checking:

4/x = 3/x-2

4/8 = 3/8-2

1/2 = 3/6

1/2 = 1/2 ✔

Six yards of rope costs $5.50 while four yards costs $4.75
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The best option is the first one (Six yards of rope costs $5.50). It is the lowest unit cost.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For the given question case, first we should compare the unit costs of the choices provided and evaluate the best option.

Choice 1:

Six yards of rope costs $ 5.50

            \frac{5.50 \text { dollar}}{6 \text { yard }}=0.9167\ dollar/yard

Choice 2:

Four yards costs $ 4.75

           \frac{4.75 \text { dollar}}{4 \text { yard }}=1.1875\ dollar/yard

Thus, the best choice is the first one. Because it is the lowest unit cost.
