Martin put 8 pounds of grapes into a bowl. Four friends each took 2/3 pound from the bowl. What fraction represents the total amount of grapes removed from the bowl? (look at image for options) Also I mean 2/3 in the fraction two-thirds.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of pounds of grapes that the friends removed can be written as:

2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3 = (2/3) * 4 = 8/3

Looking at the answer choices, only B works, with -8/3. The negative sign makes sense because we are removing grapes.

The answer is thus B.

Second choice -8/3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

8 pounds of grapes

4*2/3= 8/3 pounds taken

- 8/3 pounds is the answer option

a) what number, when added to negative four, is equal to negative five?

step-by-step explanation:

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
