3 = X/2 + 2
1 = X/2
2 = X
Jan had 2 pencils to start off with. She gave half (1 pencil) to Talia. Her brother gave her 2, which means she ends up with 3.
First, make 6 into an improper fraction.
6/1
Now multiply the numerators.
6x3=18
Now, the same with the denominators.
1x5=5
18/5
Now make it into a mixed number.
5x3=15
3 and...
18-15=3
3 and 3/5!!
Hope this helped!
