one half equals 0.5 and one quarter equals 0.25. 0.25 * 3 equals 0.75. 0.75 ( 3 quarters ) is greater than 0.5 ( 1 half )
Four more than three times a number
Number = 14
Expressed algebraically, this is equal to 3x + 8=y.
20 equals 8 more than a number y 20=y+8
Example: Three more than half of a number is 15. >Take the number (24) and divide it in half (or by 2). 24 / 2 = 12 >Take the 12 and add 3 12 + 3 = 15
Yes it is. If you use cross multiplication, 3/4 equals 6, while 1/2 equals 4.

one half equals 0.5 and one quarter equals 0.25. 0.25 * 3 equals 0.75. 0.75 ( 3 quarters ) is greater than 0.5 ( 1 half )
Thirty decreased by three times a number is six less than three times the number. Find the number.
3x+2. x equals any given number.
Yes.1/2 also equals 2/4Therefore,2/4 < 3/4
n/2 + 3 = 21
Eight cups is just one half of a gallon (in the US measuring system), so three gallons is a lot more than that.
n+6 = 2(n/2+3) <=> n+6 = 2(n/2)+2(3) <=> n+6 = n+6. Any number you put in for n will make this equation true. It is an identity, and has an infinite number of solutions.
(4/5)x + 63 = 111(4/5)x = 48x = 60
3*(n - 5) = 2*n + 11
