Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).
like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...
what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?
the same : 16.
and what is half of 16 ? 8.
so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.
so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.
what was left was
15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound
It’s at point d and point p
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-2x + 8 = 18
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
- Divide both sides by -2: x = -5
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-2(-5) + 8 = 18
10 + 8 = 18
18 = 18
