3y-\ pineapple\\
5y-\ mango\\\\
3x-144=3y\ \ | add\ 144\\
2x=5y\\\\
3x=3y+144\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
2x=5y\\\\
x=y+48\\2x=5y\\\\
2(y+48)=5y\\
2y+96=5y\ \ \ | subtract\ 2y\\
96=3y\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
32=y\\
x=32+48=80\\\\

Jake eats 1/4 of a. box of cereal in 1/8 of a month. How many boxes will Jake eat in a month?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
~2 boxes

If a month is about 31 days 1/8 of that would be ~31/8

That number can be rounded to 4

If 1/4 of a box is eaten even 4 days, one box will be eaten after 16 days
