Hey Aarya!
If we `scale` both the numerator and denominator by the same value, then we can create other equivalent fractions. By scale I mean: Multiply both the top and bottom of the fraction by the same value.
So here is one we can try.
Let's multiply numerator and denominator by 3.
Yay we did it! We found another fraction which is equivalent to 3/8.
Remark
This is a very interesting question. Draw a line from the origin to where the upper right vertex of the square touches the line. That line has the property that the its equation is y = x. So the "solution" to the point of intersection is the solution of the two equations.
y = x (1)
3x + 4y = 12 (2)
Put x in for y in equation 2
3x + 4x = 12
7x = 12
x = 12/7
x = 1.714
y = 1.714
Problem A
<em><u>x intercept</u></em>
The x intercept occurs when y = 0
3x + 4(0) = 12
3x = 12 Divide by 3
x = 12/3
x = 4
the x intercept = (4,0)
<em><u>y intercept</u></em>
The y intercept occurs when x =0
3(0) + 4y = 12
4y = 12
y = 12/4
y = 3
y intercept = (0,3)
Problem B
x and y both equal 1.714 so they are also the length of the square's side.
Problem C
See solution above. x =y is the key fact.
x = y = 1.714
19/25 = x/100
Cross multiply:
1,900
Divide 1,900 by 25
Equals 76
Subtract 76 from 100
Answer: 24% change

Answer:
We can rearrange the interest formula, I = PRT to calculate the principal amount. The new, rearranged formula would be P = I / (RT), which is principal amount equals interest divided by interest rate times the amount of time.

Answer:
(B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of fluid in the tank =1000 gallons
Initial Amount of Salt in the tank, A(0)= 30 pounds
Incoming brine solution of concentration 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped in at a rate of 4 gallons per minute.
Rate In=(concentration of salt in inflow)(input rate of brine)
The resulting mixture is pumped out at the same rate, therefore:
Rate Out =(concentration of salt in outflow)(output rate of brine)
Therefore:
The rate of change of amount of salt in the tank,
