Answer: 3/16 is not equivalent to 3/8
Step-by-step explanation: 3/16 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 16 pieces whilst 3/8 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 8 pieces. They are mildly similar but 3/16 is twice as small as 3/8 and henceforth not equivalent.
So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)
Answer:
<h3>2x+2y = 100</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of points in the test = 100points
If the test has x questions worth 2 points apiece, then the total number of points for x questions with 2 points each will be 2 * x i.e 2x........ 1
Also, if y questions worth 4 points apiece then the total number of points for y questions with 4 points each will be 4 * x i.e 4x ....... 2
Total points = eqn 1 + eqn 2
100 = 2x+ 2y
Rearrange
2x+2y = 100
Hence an equation in Standard Form that would model this situation is 2x+2y = 100
