Simplify 5/10 to 1/2
find the LCD of both fractions and that would be 18
make the denominators the same as the LCD
Simplify, now denominators are equal
join the denominators
simplify it now (23/-18)
convert to mixed fraction
Answer: -1 5/18.
Answer:
60 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
For these type of questions, we can equate the ratio with the actual amounts. We will let the quantity to find be an unknown variable, such as x. Then we equate the ratios, cross multiply, and use algebra to solve.
Let grams of zinc be "x", so we can write the ratios and actual amounts as:

Then we cross multiply and solve for x, what we want to find out. Shown below:

There are 60 grams of zinc.
Answer:
Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases, then solve for
x
.
Exact Form:
5/3
Decimal Form:
x
=
1.6
Mixed Number Form:
x
=
1 2/3
5X-20=4X+7
5X-4x=20+7
X=27°
