Question

4. Angelo gave 3 of a bag of pretzels to Ben. Ben ate a portion (x) of the pretzels and then gave 4 of the remaining pretzels in the bag to Connor. The expression below represents Connor's portion of the bag of pretzels. 2/3 314 Which expression is equivalent to Connor's portion of the bag of pretzels?

Answer 1

we have Connor's portion of the pretzels

$\frac{2}{3}\times(\frac{3}{4}-x)$

then simply the expression

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}\times\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}x \\ \frac{2\times3}{3\times4}-\frac{2}{3}x \\ \frac{6}{12}-\frac{2}{3}x \\ \frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{3}x \end{gathered}$

answer: C
