Mathematics

LekaFEV [45]2 years ago

6 0

Answer: If he has 3 mystery books, and those are 1/8 of his whole collection, he has 24 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 = 1/8 × x

multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1 ("flipped fraction")

8 × 3 = 8/1(1/8) x When you multiply a fraction by its reciprocal, it produces 1, so it "cancels" in the multiplication

24 = x 

This may seem complicated, but understanding the process will help you solve more complicated questions like this in the future, I hope.

$x=\dfrac{3000\ \text{people}}{200\ \text{mi}}\\\\x=\dfrac{30\ \text{people}}{2\ \text{mi}}\\\\x=\dfrac{15\ \text{people}}{\text{mi}}$

So, the correct option is (c) "15 people/mi"

Kryger [21]

Let x = your number.

(x - 17) * -7 = -35. Divide each side by -7.

(x - 17) = 5. Add 17 to each side.

x = 22.

Your number is 22
