Need help with Algerbra question
two-thirds of a number e
2/3 * e i think this is the answer please explain how to do if not
A better way:
(2/3)e
By enclosing the fraction in parentheses, it's clear that the fraction is multiplied by e. In your answer, it's not clear whether it's 3 times e or 2/3 times e.
You are correct! To find two-thirds of a number e, you can simply multiply e by 2/3. So, the answer is indeed 2/3 * e.
To multiply a number by a fraction, you can follow these steps:
1. Write the number you want to multiply on the left and the fraction on the right.
For example: e * 2/3
2. Multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together.
In this case, 1 (since there is no number written explicitly) multiplied by 2 gives us 2.
3. Multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) together.
1 multiplied by 3 gives us 3.
4. Write the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
Therefore, the answer is 2/3 * e.
So, your work is correct! The two-thirds of a number e can be expressed as 2/3 * e.
