Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplification is something we can do if both the numerator and denominator are divisible by the same number.

In 14/24, both numbers are divisible by 2.

So, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. We get 7/12.

Therefore 14/24 = 7/12.

It is 7/12 if you divide both sides by 2!!

suppose a charity received a donation of $22.8 million. if this represents 58% of the charity's donated fund, what is the total

Mrac [35]

The total amount is "x", so, if 22.8 is 58%, "x" is the 100%,

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
22.8&58\\
x&100
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{22.8}{x}=\cfrac{58}{100}\implies \cfrac{22.8\cdot 100}{58}=x$

The work of a student trying to solve the equation 3(4x − 2) = 9 + 2x + 5 is shown below:

galina1969 [7]

Step 1 gives you
3*(4x - 2) on the left hand side.

When you remove the brackets what you get is
3*4x - 3*2
12 x - 6 You have to distribute on both sides of the plus sign. The answer is the second one down.

So the answer is 2) <<<< answer.

A flat rectangular piece of aluminum has a perimeter of 60 inches. The

liq [111]

Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

If the length is 14 inches longer than the width, it can be represented by w + 14.

Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 60 as the perimeter and w + 14 as l, then solve for w:

p = 2l + 2w

60 = 2(w + 14) + 2w

60 = 2w + 28 + 2w

60 = 4w + 28

32 = 4w

8 = w

So, the width is 8 inches

The probability, P, that a person responds to an advertisement can be modeled by the exponential function P = 1 – e^-0.047t. In

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

To solve this equation, start by noticing that you want to find t when P is 75%, or 0.75. Plug in 0.75 for P. Please see the attached screenshot for a step-by-step. The correct answer is 29.496 days.

EDIT 2: I actually was correct! You check the answer by substituting 29.496 for t in the original equation set equal to 0.75. It is 0.75. I had forgotten the negative sign when I checked.
