-3/8 divided by 7/12
-3/8 times 12/7 ( 7/12 is switched because it is changing from division to multiplication)
-3/8 times 12/7= -9/14
Hope this helped
What you can do is start with the key details in it... the main ones are that the bacteria grows every 30 minutes, you start with 1 bacteria, and the end time is 180 minutes. Basically you know that 3 goes into 18 6 times so 30 goes into 180 6 times which means that if you started with 1 bacteria you will end up with 7. Understand?
Answer:
ANSWER IS 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Since E is the midpoint of DF, DE and EF are two halves of DF. First, let's write down what we know.
DE = 3x + 4
EF = 5x - 2
DE = EF
DE + EF = DF
Now, let's plug our values for DE and EF into our first expression.
3x + 4 = 5x -2
Add 2 to both sides and subtract 3x from both sides.
6 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
3 = x
Let's plug 3 in for x into DE.
DE = 3x + 4 = 3(3) + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13
DE = EF = 13
We can plug 13 in for DE and EF to get DF
DF = DE + EF = 13 + 13 = 26
