Kelvin finished $\frac{2}{3}$ 2 3 of his test in a $\frac{1}{2}$ 1 2 hour. Express this rate in hours per test.

Complete Question

Kelvin finished 2/3 of his test in a 1/2 hour. Express this rate in hours per test.

3/4 hours per test

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of his test = 1/2 hour

This rate in hours per test is calculated as:

x = 1/2 /2/3

x = 1/2 hour ÷ 2/3 test

x = 1/2 × 3/2

x = 3/4 hours per test

This rate in hours per test is given as 3/4 hours per test

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
