STEP 1:
Total runners originally= 8
# of runners to receive trophies= 4
8-2 drop outs= 6 runners total now
STEP 2:
= # of trophies ÷ total runners now
= 4/6
simplify by 2
= (4÷2)/(6÷2)
= 2/3 runners
ANSWER: 2/3 of the remaining runners will win a trophy.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
x = -(3/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
i'm going to assume that the left side is (2/3)x and not 2/(3x). If so let me know and i'll change it.
(2\3)x =-1 (multiply both sides by 3)
2x = -1 (3)
2x = -3 (divide both sides by 2)
x = (-3) / 2
x = -(3/2)
Centimeters would be the best.
