X is the number
sum means add
sum of half a number and 4 means
(x/2)+4
result is -16
(x/2)+4=-16
minus 4 both sides
x/2=-20
times 2 both sides
x=-40
the number is -40
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways to do this. You could use your calculator to find out the decimal numbers that are equivalent to the two given fractions. Then check which one of the givens falls between these two numbers. I wouldn't do it that way -- not when you are told that the answer has 56 as the denominator. So ...
The best way to do it is to change the two givens so that they have a denominator of 56
3/7 = 3*8/7*8 = 24 / 56
7*7 / 7*8 = 49 / 46
So you need a number that is between 49 and 24
There is only one 27 / 56
Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking two points on the graph (I took (0,9) and (6,7)
Slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(7-9)/(6-0)=-2/6
=-1/3

Answer:
5 1/3 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ashley prepares 1 bag in 2/3 minutes.
One friend takes 2/3 + 3/4 * 2/3 = 7/6 minutes to make 1 bag.
4 of her friends can make 1 bag in 7/6 * 1/4 = 7/24 minutes.
If it takes x minutes for Ashley and 4 friends to make one bag then we have:
1 / 2/3 + 1 / 7/24 = 1 / x
3/2 + 24/7 = 1/x
Multiply through by 14x:
21x + 48x = 14
x = 14/69 minutes.
So the time to make 1575 bags = 1575 * 14/69
= 320 minutes.
