Divide the total amount by the portion size.

= 3 1/2 ÷ 1/4
convert 3 1/2 to improper fraction

= (2*3+1)/2 ÷ 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 1/4

to divide a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/4

= 7/2 * 4/1
multiply numerators, then multiply denominators

= (7*4)/(2*1)
= 28/2

= 14

ANSWER: 14

Hope this helps! :)

What is the value of the rational expression 2x^2+5x+9/x^2+2x-1 when x=-2

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The value of the Rational expression when $x=-2$ is: $-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise is important to remember:

When a negative number is raised to an even power, the result will be positive.
The multiplication of signs:

$(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-$

Then, given the following Rational expression:

$\frac{2x^2+5x+9}{x^2+2x-1}$

You need to follow these steps in order to find its value when $x=-2$ :

1. Substitute the given value of "x" ( $x=2$ ) into the expression:

$\frac{2(-2)^2+5(-2)+9}{(-2)^2+2(-2)-1}$

2. Evaluate and simplify:

$\frac{2(4)+5(-2)+9}{4+2(-2)-1}=\frac{8-10+9}{4-4-1}=\frac{7}{-1}=-7$
