Question 14252: I need help figuring out the answer to this question which is on my homework, i need an equation and solution
Tim has completed two thirds of his math homework. If Tim has completed 12 problems, How many problems were on his homework?
thanks for all the help Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can let x = the number of math problems on Tim's homework assignment.
You can set up the equation as follows:
Solve for x by multiplying both sides by the multiplicative inverse of 2/3, which is 3/2
Tim had 18 problems on his math homework assignment.
