You would subtract 3/8-2/8, which equals 1/8. For drawing a model draw fraction strips to help.

The correct value of this equation is <u>m = </u><u>24</u>
<h3>Resolution method</h3>
This equation contains a fractional term. We note that the denominator of this equation is the <u>term 4</u>. Therefore, we will multiply the sides by <u>4</u>:
13 = m/4 + 7
13 . 4 = 4(m/4) + 7 . 4
52 = m + 28
Now, let's isolate the variable "as negative" and after the equality - we'll be subtracting the terms:
52 = m + 28
-m = 28 - 58
-m = -24
<u>m = 24</u>
Therefore, the correct value of this equation will be <u>m = 24</u>
Answer:
31.74 million people were employed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people divided by the size of the labor force.
So the first step to solve this problem is finding the size of the country's labor force.
Suppose some country had an adult population of about 46 million, a labor-force participation rate of 75 percent.
So the size of the country labor force is:
0.75 * 46 million = 34.5 million people.
Unemployment rate of 8 percent. How many people were employed?
This means that 100 - 8 = 92 percent of people were employed. Remembering, this considers only the labor force, of 34.5 million people. So
0.92 * 34.5 million = 31.74 million
31.74 million people were employed.
