Answer 1

how did u get that ?

Answer 2

Answer 3

hold on ...think I goofed on it

Answer 6

2 = 3n* 8 do it like this

Answer 7

2 = 24n

Answer 8

so n 2/24

Answer 9

n = 1 /12

Answer 10

i understand the problem as 2/3 multiplied by N gives you the answer of 8
therefor 2/3 goes into 8 ____ times the ____ being what N=

right?

Answer 11

nooo dont confuse it take it simpleeee

Answer 12

2/3n = 8\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3n } =8\]

Answer 13

therefore 2 = 3n * 8

Answer 14

2 = 24n

Answer 15

24n = 2

Answer 16

n = 2/24

Answer 17

n = 1 /12

Answer 18

thats it

Answer 19

So then Smitha is right

Answer 24

idk.... I went to
http://www.tiger-algebra.com/
and used their system and it says only one answer can be found and that is
n=12. looking at how it is worked out it appears to be correct but now i am second guessing things. I only have one try with this test so I can not afford to fail it :/

Answer 25

If I could suggest something real quick, your equation is 2/3n = 8. If you have a calculator on you you could find that 2/3 is .6 (repeated). So .6n(repeated) = 8. Then you have to divide the .6n (repeated) by .6 to get "n" by itself. And the 8 by the .6 as well. The answer I got was 12. Sorry if this didn't help.
