Let the unknown number be x:
1/6x-2 = 1/4x+1
Multiply all terms by 12 in order to eliminate the fractions:
2x-24 = 3x+12
2x-3x = 12+24
-x = 36
x = -36
Check that your answer is correct by substituting the value of x into the original equation: -8 = -8
Yes, any fraction that has a lower denominator will be smaller.
For a number to be both a square and a cube, it would have to be a sixth power. There are three sixth powers less than 100: 0^6 = 0, 1^6 = 1 and 2^6 = 64.
0.229 of anything is less than a fourth of it, because a fourth is 0.25 .
x/2 - 3/4
This question has already been answered and the answer is 60.
one sixth will be lesser than one fourth
First, translate the words into expressions:"Two less than one-sixth [of] a certain number..."((1/6) * X) - 2"is"="1 more than one-fourth that number"((1/4) * X) + 1so((1/6) * X) - 2 = ((1/4) * X) + 1((1/6) * X) = ((1/4) * X) + 3X = ((6/4) * X) + 18(1 - (6/4)) * X = 18- (1/2) * X = 18X = - 36
Yes, any fraction that has a lower denominator will be smaller.
100 times less
1/4 - 5/6 is 5/12. that is less than 1/2.

x - 1/4
The moon is smaller than earth. The moon is on fourth of Earth, and has less gravity. You would weigh about one sixth on the moon than on the Earth.
0.229 of anything is less than a fourth of it, because a fourth is 0.25 .
33 marbles must be in the sixth line
