Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
from the question that we have been given, we have to find out the next number after 36.
John's next number sequence will be 50. Every number after 8 can be gotten by adding 14. So when we add 14 to 36, we get the final answer, which is the next number in the sequence.
This can be seen below:
14 + 8 = 22
14 +22 =36
14 +36 =50
therefore the next sequence would be 50
Answer:
1. 6/7
2. 1/2
3. 7/10
4. 39/40
5. 15/28
6. 3/10
7. 7/12
8. 1/6
9. 5/12
10. 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the number of cups of apple juice to lemon-lime soda is 6:1.
If there is a point on the graph at (1, 6), where the x-coordinate the number of cups of lemon-lime soda and y-coordinate is the number of cups of apple juice, you can deduce the ratio (6 cups of apple juice for 1 cup of lemon-lime soda).
As you imagine on the graph, this pattern continues, with 2 cups of lemon-lime soda for 12 cups of apple juice, that simplifies to 1 cup of lemon-lime soda for 6 cups of apple juice. Since the question asks for the ratio of apple juice to lemon-lime soda, you just reverse the values and get 6:1
