Answer: 0.75 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation: Multiply the denominators of each fraction by the opposite fraction. 1 x 2 = 2 1 x 4 = 4 (1/4 x 2/2 = 2/8) (1/2 x 4/4 = 4/8)
4 2 8 2 4 8
Then add the new fractions together and keep the denominator : 2/8 + 4/8 = 6/8.
And finally reduce 6/8 which will result in 3/4.
They will bring $814 dollars all together
X/6 = 6
To solve for X, multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator, which in this problem is 6:
x = 2 * 6
x = 12
1/3m = 12 - m...add m to both sides
1/3m + m = 12
4/3m = 12
m = 12 * 3/4
m = 36/4
m = 9 <===
