Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. So 2315.5 - 3166.75 = -851.25
We know that 12 equals one dozen. It is not asking for a dozen, but for 9 dozen. So, we need to multiply 9 by 12. 9*12 = 108.
It says the rolls of first aid tape were divided equally into 4 boxes. We need to divide these 108 rolls into 4 equal groups, since that is what took place in the problem. So, we divide 108 by 4.
108/4 = 27. There are 27 rolls in each box.
36/63 in its simplest form is 4/7
Have a great day! =)
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4
Multiply each side by 8 to clear the fractions
8(5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4)
5x - 44 = 6
Add 44 to each side
5x-44+4= 6+4
5x= 50
Divide by 5
5x/5 = 50/5
x =10
