Question 4- You need to subtract the shortest bolt from the longest bolt, or 1 1/4 minus 3/8. Make 1 1/4 improper and make the denominator 8 so multiply 5x2=10 and 4x2=8. 10/8 - 3/8 equals 7/8 and thats your final answer. Hope this helped ;)
When solving these proportions we just remember when moving a number from one side to the other if it started in the numerator it ends up in the denominator and vice versa.
I'll do it in two steps here for teaching purposes; it's not too hard to go directly to the answer.
I think it’s the third one I’m srry if u get it wrong sksk
Answer:
The first option.
Because we're solving for the price of each gallon, x will represent the cost of each gallon. Since 8.4 is the total amount of gallons, multiply 8.4 and x to get $23.94. Solve for x by dividing 23.94 to get $2.85 per gallon. To check this, substitute 2.85 for x into the equation: 8.4 (2.85) = 23.94
