Well, 6/8 can be simplified: divide the numerator and denominator by 2, then your simplified fraction is 3/4. Now, multiply straight across: 4 times what=12? 3 does. So, you do the same thing to the numerator, because whatever you do to the denominator must be done to the numerator, and same reversed. 3*3=9, so the answer to this is 9/12!!
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
9n² - n - 
= 0 ← multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction
27n² - 3n - 2 = 0 ← factoring
Consider the factors of the product of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term
product = 27 × - 2 = - 54 and sum = - 3
The factors are - 9 and + 6
Use these factors to split the n- term
27n² - 9n + 6n - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
9n(3n - 1) + 2(3n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (3n - 1) from each term
(3n - 1)(9n + 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = 
9n + 2 = 0 ⇒ 9n = - 2 ⇒ n = - 
In expanded form that would be 10,000,000 + 6,000,000 + 100,000 + 7,000 + 300 + 20
Answer:
The fish is 2.25 ft above the surface at 0.375 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
y=-16x^2+12x
x=0.375 seconds
Substitute x=0.375 into the equation
y=-16x^2+12x
= -16(0.375)^2 +12(0.375
= -16(0.140625) + 4.5
= -2.25 + 4.5
= 2.25
y=2.25 ft
The fish is 2.25 ft above the surface at 0.375 seconds
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
