you have to switch it around it should be add then divide

because you should all ways turn it around then its easier

Answer 8

Actually @iceicebaby you substract first to get the 'r' in one side then you multiply.

Answer 9

Correct so I was right

Answer 10

Yep !

Answer 11

It is subtract then multiply

Answer 12

that is wrong because i put that on my test and got it wrong

Answer 13

r/4 - 2/9 = 4/6
r/4 - 2/9 + 2/9 = 4/6 + 2/9
r/4 = 8/9
r/4 * 4 = 8/9 * 4
r = 32/9
They expect you to put add then multiply (option 1)

But really those notions are just the same because multiplying by 1/4 is equivalent to dividing by 4.
