First lets remove the initial fee

150 is how much she is charging you per hour.
If each hour is 55, lets divide 150 by 55.

She charged you for 2.7 hours (almost 3) of service
C=cost per orange ×no. of oranges purchased
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3-6
Lcm=3
(1-18)/3
-17/3
-5 2/3
Here is the solution for the given problem above:
Given: 5/8 yard of ribbon = total length of the ribbon
1/12 yard = length of the ribbon after Tom cut it equally
? = number of pieces of 1/12 yard from 5/8 yard
So to divide fractions, here is the solution
5/8 divided by 1/12
5/8 multiplied by 12/1
5x12 is 60
8x1 is 8.
So 60/8 would be 7.5. Therefore, the number of pieces that was cut from the 5/8 ribbon is 7.5. Hope this answer helps.
8(x-6) = 4x
8x - 6. 8 = 4x
4x = 6 . 8
x = 6.2 = 12
