Question

Solve: 0.25(12t – 4) = 1.

(a) \(\frac{2}{3}\)

(b) \(\frac{3}{2}\)

(c) \(\frac{12}{11}\)

(d) \(\frac{11}{12}\)

This question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My query is from Reduce the Linear Equation and Find the Value of the Variable topic in portion Linear Equations in One Variable of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) \(\frac{2}{3}\)

To explain I would say: 0.25(12t – 4) = 1

∴3t – 1 = 1

∴3t = 2

∴t = \(\frac{2}{3}\).
