Joel was given a large bag of kumquats and ate one fourth of them before stopping as he was feeling sick.
The next day he ate one fourth of the remaining kumquats and
the following day he ate one fourth of the remainder, before
counting the kumquats he had left which totaled 27.
How many kumquats was he given in the beginning?

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
