one algebra question!?

Question

divide the difference of seven twelveths and a third by 3/4

Answer 1

7/12 -1/3
7/12-4/12=3/12

3/12/ (3/4)= 3/12* 4/3= 12/36= 1/3

Answer 2

The way I read the question I made the following formual

7/12 - (1/3 x 3/4)

7/12 - 3/12

4/12 = 1/3

now looking at the question again I see:

1/3 - 7/12 divided by 3/4

or is it 7/12 - 1/3 divided by 3/4

we shall have to find out which is greater 1/3 or 7/12

1/3 7/12

1/3 = 4/12

therefore it must be 7/12 - 4/12 = 3/12

3/12 divided by 3/4 = 3/12 x 4/3 = 3/9 = 1/3

so it is the same answer both ways

Answer 3

3/4 / (7/12 - 1/3) = 3/4 / 1 / 4 = 3

Answer 4

7/12-4/12 = 3/12

1/4 divide by 3/4 = 1/4 x 4/3 = 4/12 = 1/3

Answer 5

if im reading your question right, which i think i am...
[ ( 7 / 12 ) - ( 1 / 3 ) ] / ( 3 / 4 )
so you need a common denominator for the first part so (1/3) = (4/12), the equation is now
[ ( 7 / 12 ) - ( 4 / 12 ) ] / ( 3 / 4 )
do the subtraction and get
(3/12) / (3/4)
reduce (3/12) to (1/4) to get
(1/4) / (3/4)
to divide by a fraction is to multiply by the reciprocol so you have
(1/4) * (4/3) and this gives...
(4/12)
reduce this to your answer of
(1/3)
and you are done

Answer 6

(7/12 - 1/3)/(3/4) =
(4/3)(7/12 - 4/12) =
(4/3)(3/12) =
(3/3)(4/12) =
1/3

Answer 7

Just make them numbers:

((7/12) - (1/3)) / (3/4)

Then make them all have the same denominator(12):
((7/12-(4/12))/(9/12)

Then subtract
(3/12) / (9/12)

Now then multiply 3/12 by 12/9 since you divided by 9/12
(3/12) * (12/9) = 3/9 =[1/3]

Answer 8

7/12 - 1/3 = 9/36 = 1/4

(1/4) / (3/4) is same as (1/4*4) / 3 = 1/3

Answer 9

Repeat after me. "Math is not magic. It makes perfect sense. All I have to do is right the problem down correctly and follow the rules to solve the problem."

Okay, so I'll get you started the difference of 7/12 and 1/3 is the the same as saying (7/12) - (1/3) Now stop being afraid of math and work.

Answer 10

[(7/12) - (4/12)] * (4/3) = (1/4)(4/3) = (1/3).
