Sarah pours four ounces of coffee into an eight-ounce cup and four ounces of cream into a second cup of the same size. She then transfers half the coffee from the first cup to the second and, after stirring thoroughly, transfers half the liquid in the second cup back to the first. What fraction of the liquid in the first cup is now cream?

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4ounces of coffee in cup  1

4 ounces of cream in cup 2

In the first step  pour 4/2=2 ounces of coffee from cup 1 to cup 2, getting:

2 ounces of coffee in cup 1

2 ounces of coffee and 4 ounces of cream in cup 2

In the second step we pour 2/2=1 ounce of coffee and 4/2=2 ounces of cream from cup 2 to cup 1, getting:

2+1=3 ounces of coffee and 0+2=2ounces of cream in cup 1

so the answer is 2/5

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

therefore your answer is

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4
