Asurvey determined that 5/18 of the seventh grade students at mills middle school preferred round chocolate candies to hard candy. when jennifer duplicated the survey, 1/6 of the students changed their preference from chocolate candy to hard candy. what fraction of the students in the second survey preferred round chocolate candy? a. 4/9 b. 1/9 c. 5/ 108 d. 1/4

The correct answer is B) 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this answer, you need to take the fraction that answered it on the first try and subtract the number that changed their mind.

5/18 - 1/6

In order to complete this operation, you need to give them common denominators.

5/18 - 3/18 = 2/18

And we can simplify that answer.

2/18 = 1/9

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
