<span>Let x = amt of water evaporated :.05(50) = .08(50-x) 2.5 = 4 - .08x .08x = 4 - 2.5 .08x = 1.5 x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated : ; Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right? .05(50) = .08(50-18.75) .05(50) = .08(31.25) 2.5 = 2.5</span>

well, we know the ceiling is 6+2/3 high, and Eduardo has 4+1/2 yards only, how much more does he need, well, is simply their difference, let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract.

\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{20}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{20}{3}-\cfrac{9}{2}\implies \stackrel{using ~~\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{\cfrac{(2\cdot 20)-(3\cdot 9)}{6}}\implies \cfrac{40-27}{6}\implies \cfrac{13}{6}\implies\blacktriangleright 2\frac{1}{6} \blacktriangleleft
