I think it’s 135
12x15=180
180 divided by 4/3 or 1 1/3 = 135
Answer:
4 ÷ 6/9 is also equal to 4 x 9/6. This is because when you divide by a fraction, you change the division sign to multiply and reverse the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. For example, if x/y was a fraction, it would become y/x. THIS IS ONLY DURING DIVISION!
So, we now that 4 ÷ 6/9 is equal to 4 x 9/6. 4 x 9/6 = (4x9)/6 = 36/6 = 6.
Answer:
150 pennies were lost altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies
Mathematically ;
x + y = 350 •••••••(i)
So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.
Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left
So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies
This means that;
x/2 = 2y/3
Cross multiply;
3x = 4y •••••••(ii)
Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;
From i , x = 350-y
Substitute this into equation ii
3(350-y) = 4y
1050-3y = 4y
7y = 1050
y = 1050/7
y = 150
since x = 350-y
x = 350-150 = 200
Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100
Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50
Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150
Given the equation :
So, to find d , divide both sides by ( -6 )
So,
Note: when we divide two negative numbers, the result will be a positive number
