Three less than one-fourth of the product of eight thirds and nine. Please write equation, then solve.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Put simply, you have to work backwards in making the equations. Start with the product of 8/3 and 9.
(8)/(3)*9

 Next take 1/4 of that. This can be done in two ways, either multiplying by 1/4:
((8)/(3)*9)*(1)/(4)

, or dividing everything by 4.
((8)/(3)*9)/4

Finally, subtract three.

The final equation would read:
(((8)/(3)*9)*(1)/(4))-3



Using PE(M/D)(A/S), we'd start with (8)/(3)*9

3 and 9 cancel out to be 1 and 3, leaving us with (8)/(1), or 8, and 3 and this part of the equation reading 8*3, which is 24.

The next step is (24)/(4), which is 6.

Lastly we subtract 3 from six, leaving us 3.
Answer 2
Answer:

¹/₄ × ( ⁸/₃ × 9 ) - 3 = 3

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

  • Parentheses
  • Exponents
  • Multiplication and Division
  • Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem!

Product of eight thirds and nine

(8)/(3) * 9

One-fourth of the product of eight thirds and nine

(1)/(4) * ( (8)/(3) * 9 )

Three less than one-fourth of the product of eight thirds and nine

(1)/(4) * ( (8)/(3) * 9 ) - 3

= (1)/(4) * ( (8 * 9)/(3) ) - 3

= (1)/(4) * ( (72)/(3) ) - 3

= (1)/(4) * 24 - 3

= (1 * 24)/(4) - 3

= (24)/(4) - 3

= 6 - 3

= \boxed {3}

The answer is 'D'

When you divide 48 and 78 by 2, you get 24 and 39. Then divide 24 and 39 by 3 and you will get 8 and 13, which don't have any common factors.

The same happens with 12 and 30...
When 12 and 30 are divided by 2, you get 6 and 15. Then divide 6 and 15 by 3 and you get 2 and 5, which have no more common factors.

Seth walks 1 1/4 miles in 5/12 hour. what is seth's unit rate?

Answers

49. Seth walks 1 ¼ miles in 5/12 hour. Let us solve for the Unit rate of Seth base on the given data.=> 1 and ¼ miles, convert this to decimals=> 1 and ¼ miles = 1.25 milesNext, convert the hour=> 5 / 12 hours = 0.42 hoursNext to do is to divide the miles in hours to be able to get the final unit rate of Seth:=> 1.25 / 0.42=> 2.97 miles/hour or 3miles per hour.

There are 22 students on natalies class. new reading books cost $7 each. Natalies class raised $50 washing cars. If there are 2 teachers in nautiliesclass, write and evaluate an expression to show how much more each teacher will have to pay to buy the new book

Answers

22*7 = 50 + 2x  (22*7 is the total cost for all students, and the other side needs to match that cost)

evaluate:
22*7 = 50 + 2x
154 = 50 + 2x
104 = 2x
52 = x

Each teacher will have to pay $52.
Since 22 multiplied by 7 is equal to 154$ and the class has already raised 50$ you are still left with 104$ to pay . Sice there are 2 teachers you would divide 104$ by 2 and end up with 52$ .... Each teacher would have to pay 54$

Jan's pencil is 8.5 cm long. Ted's pencil is longer. type a demical that could represent the length of ted's pencil

Answers

Answer: Ted's pencil could be 8.6 cm.

Step-by- Step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of Jan's pencil= 8.5 cm

According to the question, we know that Ted's pencil is longer.

So, it must be larger in value than 8.5 cm .

So, it can be any decimal number greater than 8.5 cm

Hence, Ted's pencil could be 8.6 cm.
If Jan's pencil is 8.5 cm long, and Ted's is longer, anything larger than 8.5 should work.

Examples - 8.9 c.m.
