Hey there!

"One half of a number" will be a number (x) divided by 2. This can also be shown as "0.5x" or "1/2x", whichever you prefer. 

"...decreased by 16" will be "– 16", making your full equation 0.5x – 16. Remember that terms like remainder, difference, and fewer will always mean subtraction. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

9 laps.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the number of laps Taylor runs.

-Given that the ratio of Kyle to Taylor laps is 2:3, we express the actual laps in meters to solve for x as follows:

\frac{Kyle}{Taylor}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\\therefore \frac{2}{3}=\frac{6}{x}\\\\2x=18\\\\x=9

Hence, Taylor runs 9 laps.

Haryati had 1250 oranges.
Blababa [14]
First you subtract 242 from 1250 which gives you 1080. Then you divide it by 8 which gives you 126. Multiply this value by 3 and this shows that Haryati received $378. Hope this is helpful.
