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

`(2)/(3)*((3)/(4)-x)`

then simply the expression

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)*(3)/(4)-(2)/(3)x \\ (2*3)/(3*4)-(2)/(3)x \\ (6)/(12)-(2)/(3)x \\ (1)/(2)-(2)/(3)x \end{gathered}`

answer: C
