To determine if 1/3 and 4/12 are equivalent fractions, you can either simplify 4/12 or raise 1/3. I'm going to explain with an example. So we have 1/8 and 3/24. I usually make the denominators (The lower number of the fraction) the same. To do that i multiply 8 by which ever number i think will calculate to 24. So 8 times 3 is 24. So i would change the number 8 to the number 24. But what you do to the bottom you HAVE to do to the top. So i multiplied the number 8 by 3 to get 24. No i am going to multiply the top of 1/8 (which is 1, or the numerator) by 3. And 1 times 3 is 3. And that gives me 3/24. It equals the second fraction, so 1/8 and 3/24 is equivalent.
So taking your fractions, 1/3 and 4/12, we just see how many times 3 goes into 12. Or what times 3 equals 12. That is 4. So what we do to the bottom we MUST do to the top, right? So we multiply 1 by 4. That gives us 4. So 1/3 changed into 4/12. So our first fraction is now 4/12 and our second fraction is also 4/12. So they are equivalent! Hope this helped <span />
Divide each term in 4m < -8 by 4.
4m/4 < -8/4
Then reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors.
m < -8/4
Simplify the right side of the equation.
Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.
m < -1*2
Multiply -1 by 2 to get -2
m < -2
The answer to this question is -.5. We can determine the common difference by just subtracting the first number to the second number 14 - 14.5 is equal to -.5, 14.5 - 15 is equal to -.5 and so on.
This sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is -.5
First lets get 3% into decimal form.
3% is 3/100 = 0.03
Now multiply 0.03 by 47000 to get how much extra money she was going to get.
47000 * 0.03 = 1410
Now we just add
47000 + 1410 = 48410 is what she was going to make in 2012
Another way to do this is
(47000)(1+0.03) = 48410
you would use (1+0.03) which tells you she increased in pay.
