The coefficient in (4x-2) is the -2
Answer:
2 bags of topsoil.
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached figure shows a flower bed.
One bag of topsoil covers 15 square meters.
We need to find how many bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed.
The area of the flower bed is :
Let he has to cover x bags of topsoil. So,
x = Area of flower bed/Area of 1 bag of top soil
x = 30/15
x = 2
Hence, he will need 2 bags of topsoil to cover his flower bed.
Answer:
20/24. Simplified answer is 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 divided by 3/4 is the same as asking 5/8 times 4/3
When dividing a number by a fraction, you can always just multiply by the fraction with its numerator and denominator switched!
So, now we have 5/8 times 4/3
Step 1: Multiply the numerators together. 5 times 4 = 20
Step 2: Multiply the denominators together. 8 times 3 = 24
Step 3: Put the new numerator over the new denominator. 20 over 24 is 20/24
Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary. 20 and 24 share a common factor of 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.
20 divided by 4 = 5
24 divided by 4 = 6
So, 20/24 is equal to 5/6.
