so if you take away 1/4 from 3/4 you will get 2/4
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 or 1/2
so the male elephant weights 1/2 a ton more than the female
Answer:
13 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
create an equation to solve:
(2x-3) + x = 36
3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms
<u> +3 +3</u><u> </u> add 3 to both sides
<u>3</u>x = <u>39</u>
3 3 divide both sides by 3
x = 13
<u>13 is the first number</u>
the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:
2x - 3 = ?
2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the
smaller number to solve
<u>23 = the 2nd number</u>
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing one fraction by another, the best way to solve it is to multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal just flipping the fraction over. So you would leave the 6/7 and the multiply by 14/12( because you are multiplying by the reciprocal). When you do that, you then can just multiply the top and the bottom to form one fraction. The numerator is 6*14 = 84, and the denominator is 7*14 = 84. So you are left with 84/84 which anything over itself is equal to one.
