<span>x : y is equal to 12 : 8. These can be reduced or cancelled down to 3 : 2 in the same proportions. Therefore, when y is 12, you have to multiply the smallest value y can be by 6, and must do the same to the smallest x value to retain the proportions. x = 18 when y = 12.</span>
Answer:
X=8
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract the read pages with the unread pages which is 168.
Then let 21 pages = to one hour then 168pages(the remaining pages) = x then cross multiply and divide then your answer will be 8
3 * N = 1
The multiplicative inverse is just the reciprocal of the number. The reciprocal is just " flipping " the number. So the reciprocal of 3 (or 3/1) is 1/3. And any time u multiply a number by its multiplicative inverse (reciprocal), the result is 1
3 * 1/3 = 3/3 = 1.....so N is ur multiplicative inverse
