Lily and Abby share some markers in the ratio 2:9. Abby has 27 markers. How many markers do they have altogether?

33

Step-by-step explanation: We can make an equation. 2:9 can be equal to 2x:9x. So 9x=27, x=3. Then if 9x=27, 2x= 3 times 2=6. 27 +6= 33.

Options:

(A)x = StartFraction 6 over 4 EndFraction

(B)x = Negative StartFraction 6 over 4 EndFraction

(C)x minus one-fourth = negative StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction

(D)x = negative three-halves

(E)x = negative three-fourths

(B)x = Negative StartFraction 6 over 4 EndFraction

(D)x = negative three-halves

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine which fraction is equivalent to

This value of x is the result in Option B.

Reducing to its lowest form:

which is Option D.

Therefore, the correct options are: B and D
