Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The one-third of a number is 12 less than the number itself will be 18.

What is a fraction

In such a fraction, the value that appears above the horizontal line is referred to as the numerator.

In another word, the fraction is the division of the two numbers but the division is not wholly complete.

It represents the number of pieces removed from the whole. The denominator of a fraction is the numerical value that comes before the brings together various.

In question, let's assume that the number is x then according to the question

(1/3)x = x - 12

x = 3x - 36

36 = 3x + x

36 = 4x

x = 18 hence, it will be correct.

Answer: Let "n" be a substitute for "a number"

1/3(n)=n-12    Multiply by 3

2n=36            Divide by 2
n=18

What temperature is 10 degrees higher than -22 degree celsius?

Answers


Higher = warmer

Lower = colder

Therefore, what temperature is 10 degrees higher than -22 degrees Celsius is -12 degrees celsius

If the temperature is -22 then you add 10 degrees so the answer is -12. When you add a temperature that is negative, you go up you don't just do -22+10=-32 because that's going down and that's a common mistake!Hope it helps!!!
