What's 2/4 x 1/3? And pls provide work on how u got the answer.
igomit [66]
Just multiply the top number by the top number and the bottom numbers by the bottom numbers so


2/4 times 1/3=(2 times 1)/(4 times 3)=2/12

so to simplify, we find the ones exg 4/8=1/2 because 1/2 times 4/4=4/8 and 4/4 cancels out so

2/12=2/2 times 1/6
=1/6

Volgvan

Answer:

\frac{4}{15} \\

Step-by-step explanation:

number of the students like brussels sprouts but dislike lima beans = number of these students who dislike lima beans - number of students who dislike lima beans and also dislike brussels sprouts

\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{5}* \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{3}-\frac{6}{15}=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{6}{15}=\frac{4}{15}\\

Given the system of inequalities:
Margaret [11]
Answer:
First inequality: y > \frac{4}{5} x - \frac{1}{5}
Second inequality: y < 3 + x

Explanation:
The inequality in slope-intercept form has the following general formula:
y < mx + c or y > mx + c (according to the given sign)
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

This means that to get any inequality in slope-intercept form, we will have to isolate the y on one side of the inequality.

First given inequality:
4x - 5y < 1
4x - 5y + 5y < 1 + 5y
1 + 5y > 4x
1 + 5y - 1 > 4x - 1
5y > 4x - 1
y > \frac{4}{5} x -  \frac{1}{5}
comparing this to the general form, we would find that:
slope (m) = 4/5
y-intercept (c) = 1/5

Second given inequality:
y - x < 3
y - x + x < 3 + x
y < 3 + x
comparing this to the general form, we would find that:
slope (m) = 1
y-intercept (c) = 3

Hope this helps :)
