Half is a third of it.what is it?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2

Now we just have a simple equation to solve:

1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)

Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore

x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5

To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:

1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2

Answer:

2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 / 1/4
5/8 x 4/1
cross cancel 4 and 8 to get 5/2 x 1/1
answer 5/2 or 2 1/2

5/8 divided by 1/4 equals 5/8 times 4/1

that equals 5/2 which becomes 2 1/2

what is the rhee and pamela are two of the five members of band. every week the band picks 2 members at random to play on their own for five minutes. what is the probability that rhee and pamela are chosen this week.

Answers

First you need to count the number of different two people groups you can make.

That is 5x4/2 = 10 different groups (this is because you can choose the first member from 5 different persons and the second member from 4 different persons, which makes 5 x 4; then you realize that in that way every couple is counted twice and so you have to divide by 2).

If you do not see that, you can count in this way. Identify every person with one letter: a, b, c, R and P

you can do these different two people groups:

ab
ac
aR
aP

bc
bR
bP

cR
cP

RP

Thos are the ten different groups.

Rhee and Pamela is one group, so the probability of chosing it is
