Number 19 you are comparing one measurement to another. Since it says 1/2 inch equals 4 ft, we want to find out how many more inches are needed if the given scale was 2/3 = 4 ft. Now lets find a common denominator for both scales stated in inches. We have 2/3 inch and 1/2 inch. Our denominator are the bottom parts of the fraction where we need to find a common factor for the denominator so we can add or subtract fractions. We have a 3 and a 2. You may always use the multiplication between two denominators to find a common factor such as 3 times 2 which equals 6 for both denominators. Now we multiplied the 3 by 2 to get 6 so the top part (numerator needs to be multiplied the the 2 because we changed the bottom part by 2 as well. You should notice that when you reduce your fraction now 4/6 is 2/3. Just a self check example there. As for 1/2 we multiplied a 3 to get 6 for the denominator so we need to multiply the numerator by 3 as well. You now should have 4/6 and 3/6. Since the question asks for how many more inches we need to subtract 4/6 from 3/6 and we get 1/6 inch for our answer.
Answer:
There present ages are
Drex age = 17 years
Max age = 12 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as ,
The sum of age of Drex and Max = 29 years
And seven years ago Drex was twice as old as max
So , Let the Age of Drex = D and Max age = M
I.e (D - 7 ) = 2 (M - 7)
Or, D - 7 = 2M - 14
Or, 2M - D = 7
And Also D + M = 29
So , from both equations
(2M - D ) + (D + M) = 29 +7
Or, 3M = 36
I.e M =
= 12 years
∴ The Age of Drex = 29 - M
The Age of Drex = 29 - 12 = 17 years
Hence there present ages are
The Age of Drex = 17 years
The Age of Max = 12 years Answer
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
because we just multiply the bottom equation by - and we eliminate 7y. now we have -2x=-10 to get x we divide -10 by -2 and get the answer
