Craig had dollar 48. he spend 1/4 of his money on a book and 3/8 on a pair of gloves. how many dollars did craig spend on the gloves?

48 divided by 4 = 12

he spent $12 on the book and $36 on the gloves

probably .5

i can on others if necessary.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
