4loads of stone weight 1\4 ton. find the weight of 1 load of stone.

1\16 ton. Divide 1\4 by four because it is the weight of four. dividing fractions is like multiplying by the same fraction if the numerator and denominator were switched.

1/4 divided by four is the same as 1/4 x 1/4

i'm not sure i quite understand, could you provide more information?

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
