[Q] Mike and Jeanie played 38 games of checkers. Mike won 6 more games than Jeanie. To find out how many games Jeanie won a student used this equation. M + J = 38
In this equation: M = number of games Mike won and J = number of games Jeanie won Which other equation would help the student to solve this problem?
(A) 38 - 6 = J
(B) M - J = 6
(C) 38 + 6 = J
(D) J - M = 6
(E) M + J = 6

(B) M - J = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the variables:

M = number of games that Mike won.

J = number of games that Jeanie won.

And we know that there is a total of 38 games played, then if a game can not end in a draw, we have the equation:

M + J = 38

Now we want to find the other equation needed to solve this problem:

We also know that Mike won 6 more games than Jeanie, this is written as:

M = J + 6

We can subtract J in both sides to get:

M - J = 6

This is the equation from option B, so we can conclude that the correct option is B.

1/5

step-by-step explanation:

the dice has 6 sides and there is only one 5 in a dice.

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.
