Of the 16 children in the park, seven-eighths are wearing a red shirt. How many children in the park are wearing a red shirt?

14 children are wearing a red shirt in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction 7/8 is 7 out of 8 but your total kids is 16 so we can go ahead and multiply by 2.

(7*2)/(8*2)

14/16

So now it's 14 out of 16 kids which is the total you have.

Conclusion: 14 Children are wearing a red shirt in the park.

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
