Answer:
F. 3 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5b - 1/2 = 1 4/5
Add 1/2 to both sides. To do this make the 4/5 have a common denominator of 10 by multiplying it by 2/2. Make 1/2 have a common den. of 10 by multiplying it by 5/5.
- 4/5 * 2/2 = 8/10
- 1/2 * 5/5 = 5/10
Now you can add.
3/5b = 1 13/10, which can be simplified to 2 3/10.
To isolate b, divide both sides by 3/5. This is the same as multiplying by 5/3 (reciprocal). First make 2 3/10 an improper fraction.
23/10 * 5/3 = 115/30
Simplified: 3 5/6
