To find simplest form, you need to reduce the fraction down by a common factor, for instance 2. 22/2 is 11 (which is your numerator) and 20/2 is 10 (which is your denominator).

Suppose that 12 inches of wire cost 48 cents at the same rate how many inches of wire can be bought for 28 cents

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 inches of wire can be bought for $0.48, we can set up the following ratio:

$\frac{12\text{ in}}{\$0.48}$

Then, to determine how many inches of wire can be bought for $0.28, set up equivalent fractions, as such:

$\frac{12\text{ in}}{\$0.48}=\frac{x}{\$0.28}$

Then, cross-multiply and solve for $x$ :

$\$0.48x=(\$0.28)(12)$

$\$0.48x=\$3.36$

$x=\frac{\$3.36}{\$0.48}$

$x=7$

Citizens less than 18 years old are not allowed to vote define a variable and write an inequality for the ages of citizens who a

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$x < 18$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

"Citizens less than 18 years old are not allowed to vote"

We define a variable x such that x represents the age of citizens.

We have to write a relationship with the help of an inequality for the ages of citizens who are not allowed to vote.

Citizens less than 18 are not allowed to vote.

So x should be less than 18.

This can be written as:

$x < 18$

is the required inequality for the ages of citizens who are not allowed to vote.
