Answer 1

Answer:

b)   $\blue{\dfrac{7}{6}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{\frac{x}{4} + \frac{x}{3}}{\frac{x}{2}} =$

$= \dfrac{\frac{3x}{12} + \frac{4x}{12}}{\frac{x}{2}}$

$= \dfrac{\frac{7x}{12}}{\frac{x}{2}}$

$= \dfrac{7x}{12} \times \dfrac{2}{x}$

$= \dfrac{7x \times 2}{12 \times x}$

$= \blue{\dfrac{7}{6}}$
