5 less (-5) than 1/3 of number (n/3) is (=) 2 more than (2+) half of the number (n/2)


-5+n/3=2+n/2
add 5 to both sides
n/3=n/2+7
times 6 both sides
2n=3n+42
minus 2n both sides
0=n+42
minus 42 boh sides
-42=n

the number is -42


the number is 18

What mixed number is equivalent to 18/8
sukhopar [10]
The mixed number to 18/8 is 2 and 1/4
To find this out you multiply 8 to get to 18, yet 8 only goes to 16 before going over 18, so 8 can multiply 2 times.
The 2 will be your whole number 
and since there is 2 numbers left (18-16=2) that would be the numbers left over giving you 2 2/8.
yet the 2/8 can be simplified to 1/4 giving you 2 1/4 as your answer.
