Julie wants to express $108 in 6 weeks as a unit rate.
Her errors are:
$108 = $54 (Not true)
6 weeks = 3 weeks (Not true).
Instead,
The correct unit rate is 18 $/week.
Answer:
original weight of the box = 15 / 16 pounds
Explanation:
Assume that the original amount in the box is x.
We are given that:
5/8 pounds represent 2/3 of the total amount (x).
This can be translated into the following equation:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Now, we will solve for x as follows:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Multiply both sides by 24 to get rid of the denominators as follows:
(2/3) x * 24 = (5 / 8) * 24
16 x = 15
Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the x as follows:
x = 15 / 16 pounds
Hope this helps :)
-2/3 - 5/6
We need common denominators so, since 3 can go into 6, we only need to multiply the first fraction by 2.
= -2 x 2 / 3x2 - 5/6
= -4 / 6 - 5/6
We only subtract the numbers that are in the numerators,
= -4-5 / 6
= -9/6
Both nine and six are divisible by 3, so to put into lowest terms...
=-9÷3 / 6÷3
= -3/2 <--- Final Answer
