I think it's 1/2, which is 6/12.
5/12 plus 1/12 equals 6/12. 6 is half of 12, so you one half. I hoped this helped.
Answer:
x < 6
Step-by-step explanation:
x/-1 > -6
x < (-6) * (-1)
so, x < 6
Answer:
Opposites are basically the negative and positive of a number. I cannot think of something for a real world situation though.

9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...
x/8 = (x +5)/12
3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions
3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x

<em>Alternate solution</em>
We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...
(x +5) -(x) = 5
and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...
12 -8 = 4
This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...
x = (5/4)(8) = 10
This is true. All numbers that end in zero or five are divisible by 5, and a number that ends in zero is even, and all even numbers are divisible by two.
