1(x-1)/2-1(3-X)/4=2/1. X-1/2-3+x/4=2/1. Find common denominator. 2x-2-3+x=8. 2x+x-5=8 3x=8+5. X=13/3.
Okay so we have to first find the total.
8+3+5= 16 candies
7+4+9= 20 drinks
Since she wants to get a yellow candy and any drink but orange, put that information as a fraction.
8/16= 50% or 1/2
11/20= 55% (By the way you get 11 because of the 7 red and 4 blue).
And that's your answer!
Hope this helped and good luck! ^=^
A fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8 would be 4/8 because if you compare 4/8 and 5/6 4/8 is less than 5/6. (to compare this two fractions you need to make them have the same denominator so they would end up been 4/8=12/24
5/6=20/24
And 12/24 is smaller than 20/24
(Besides 4/8 is half and 5/6 is more than half
