General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Alg</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
18/13 = 3/4x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Divide both sides by 3/4: x = 24/13
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 18/13 = 3/4(24/13)
- Multiply: 18/13 = 18/13
Total number of marbles=5+3+4=12
Probability of picking a red marble =5/12
Y = mx + b
M= your slope or rise over run
B = your y-intercept
For example if the rise was 5 and the run is 6, the equation would say
y = 5/6 + b
The / being your fraction bar
The y-intercept is where your line crosses the y-axis
So say that the line crosses the y-axis at 10
y = 5/6 + 10
That about sums it all up!
There are 40 cats in the ecosystem.
You set 1/5 equal to x/200. Then you cross multiply the fractions to get 5x=200. You divide both terms by 5 to get x, which equals 40.
