Hi there!
Your answer is:
2 & 1/4 <u>OR</u> 2.25 cups fills the container!
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1 & 1/2 (aka 3/2) fills 2/3 of the container, then:
we know that <em>half</em> of 3/2s fills 1/3 of the container
To find half of 3/2, we multiply 3/2 by the <em><u>inverse</u></em> of 2, which is 1/2.
3/2÷2
3/2×1/2 = 3/4 ths
Now that we know 3/4ths fills 1/3 of the container, we add that to 1& 1/2.
3/4+ 1&1/2 = 2 & 1/4
Check your work!
3/4 × 3 should equal 2&1/4 if we are correct
3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4.
Simplify!
9/4 = 2&1/4
That tells us that <u>we</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u>!</u>
Hope this helps!
Answer:
p-q= -4
p=q-4
x^2 + px + q=0
=> x^2 + (q-4)x + q = 0
d= b^2-4ac
=(q-4)^2 - 4(1)(q)
= q^2 + 16 -8q - 4q
=q^2 -12q+16
given that D=16
q^2 -12q+16 = 16
=> q^2 -12q = 0
=> q^2 = 12q
=> q = 12q/q
=> q= 12
Therefore the value of q is 12 and the value of p is q-4 = 12-4= 8
