<h3>Hey Buddy,</h3>

<h3>Answer :-</h3>

Answer is 72 .

<h3><u>Explanation :-</u></h3>

\frac{6}{5}  \: of \: what \: number \: is \: 60 \:

You probably , Know that the number above the fraction line is called the numerator and the number below it is called the denominator. To work out the fraction of any number, we first need to convert that whole number into a fraction as well .

• Any number can be converted to fraction if you use 1 as the denominator:

\frac{60}{1}

• So now that we've converted 60 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 6/5 side by side with our new fraction, 60/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.

• convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators.

\frac{6 \times 60}{5 \times 1}  =  \frac{360}{5}

• Our new fraction can actually be simplified down further. To do that, we need to find the greatest common factor of both numbers.

• You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that , And the GCF of 360 and 5 is 5.

• We can now divide both the new numerator and the denominator by 5 to simplify this fraction down to its lowest terms.

\frac{360}{5}  = 72

\frac{5}{5}  = 1

• When we put that together, we can see that our complete answer is :-

\frac{72}{1}

<h3> Hence ,the complete and simplified answer to the question what is 6/5 of 60 is :- 72 .</h3>

<h3>Hope this helps you...!</h3>

<h3>I hope you can understand !! </h3>

Which expressions are equivalent to 2 (three-fourths x + 7) minus 3 (one-half x minus 5)? Check all that apply.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x)+(-3)(-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original expression given in the text is

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)  (1)

And we want to check to what other expressions is equivalent. First of all, we solve it by writing explicitely each term:

\frac{3}{2}x+14-\frac{3}{2}x+15 (2)

Let's verify each of the other expressions separately. For the first one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))

We see that this is equivalent to expression (1), since the first half is identical, while in the second one, the combination "+-" can be simply written as "-", so we get

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)

Which is equivalent to (1).

For the 2nd one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+3(\frac{1}{2}x)+3(-5)

This is not equivalent. In fact, here we have applied the distributive property to each term: however, the 3rd and 4th term are not correct, because the (3) must be negative (-3), as in the original expression.

If we write it explicitely in fact, we get

\frac{3}{2}x+14+\frac{3}{2}x-15

Which is different from (2).

For the 3rd one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x)+(-3)(-5)

This one is equivalent. In fact, here we have applied the distributive property correctly. By solvign each term we get:

\frac{3}{2}x+14-\frac{3}{2}x+15
