There are 8 pounds of grapes. Four people each take 2/3 out. We can find out how much was taken out by multiplying these four people by the amount they took out, 2/3:
We can convert this improper fraction to a mixed number. Three goes into eight two times. 3 * 2 = 6. 8 - 6 = 2. So we have 2 and two thirds leftover, or:
So the total amount of grapes that was removed from the bowl is
or
pounds.
Answer: 16 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations are:
840 + 17x
and
760 + 22x
with x being the amount of hours
840 + 17x = 760 + 22x
-760
80 + 17x = 22x
-17x
80 = 5x
/5
16 = x
840 + 17(16) = 1,112
760 + 22(16) = 1,112
5x-10=2x+5
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
5x-10=2x+5
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+5x-2x=+5+10
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+3x=+15
We divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x.
x=5
