3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4
Answer:60 male staff
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, there are 96 female staff. The ratio of male to female is 3:4. We’re going to use a proportion which looks like this. 3/4 = x/96. X is a variable that takes the place of the male staff since we don’t know what it is. Now, the question is what do we do to get from 4 to 96. So 96/4 = 24, so 4 x 20 = 96. To keep this ratio equivalent whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom so 4 x 20 = 96 and 3 x 20 = 60. So there are 60 male staff.
Example 1:
____÷418 = 218
To find the answer to a question like this it's simple. All you do is multiple the two numbers, 418x218, and your answer is: 91,124
Check your work!
91,124÷418= 218 correct!
