The faction is 3/4.
I got the answer by doing 24/32 = 0.75.
Then, I converted the decimal into a fraction. Which, is 3/4.
I hope this helps! :)
The width is 3 feet. If you set up your equation like so...
lwh = A
(4) (2) (w) = 24
Then proceed to divide 24 by 4 and 2.
(4) (2) (w) = 24
/4 /4
2w = 6
/2 /2
w = 3 feet
Suppose we try to write out this problem symbolically:
a c 1
-- - --- = --- , b not equal to 5, d not equal to 5
b d 5
Unfortunately, this equation contains 4 unknowns (too many)
We could do a bit of guesswork here:
a c 1
-- - --- = --- , b not equal to 5, d not equal to 5
b d 5
8 6 2
--- - ----- = -----
10 10 10
This is true, but not all that wonderful, because all 3 fractions could be reduced and would then have denominator 5.
Answer: 4z + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of books read by Zeke = z
Michelle read twice as many book as Zeke. This will be: = 2 × z = 2z
Tay read 3 more books than Zeke. This will be: = z + 3
The expression that represents the total number of books read over the summer by Zeke, Michelle and Tay would be the addition of the books read by each person. This will be:
= z + 2z + z + 3
= 4z + 3
