Answer:
B. 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The 4 machines can produce x units in 6 days. This means they have a daily total rate of x/6 units per day.
Since the machines are similar and that they work at the same rate, this means that the individual rates of each machine would be x/6/4 = x/24 units per day.
Now we are looking at producing 3x units in 4 days. This means that we want to produce 3x/4 units in a single day. Now, since each machine would work at a rate of x/24, we need to know the number of machines we need. To know this number, we simply divide what is to be achieved by the individual rate:
This is 3x/4 divided by x/24. This mathematically means 3x/4 * 24/x = 18 machines
Answer: x= (-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 [x-1] = [-3]
(x-1) = (-3) × 4/3
X-1 = -4
X= -3
Answer:
0, 1, 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would have to make them have the same denominators.
The lowest one they share is 24.
What ever you do to the bottom you have to do to the bottom.
1/6, times each by 4.
1 * 4 = 4
6 * 4 = 24
4/24.
Now you have to do the same thnig for 5/8.
But times it by 3, since 8 times 3 is 24.
5 * 3 = 15
8 * 3 = 24
15/24
Now subtract.
15 - 4 = 11/24
the difference is close to one half.
4/24 = 1/6 is close to 0.
15/24 = 5/8 is close to 1.
