step 3 is correct because 6 - 1/2 = 11/2
step 4 is correct because she correctly multiplied both sides by 4
step 5 is wrong because she added 5 instead of dividing by -5.
for the final answer bit, I've attached an image below with my working out. hope this helps!
First we need to make both fractions equal to each other, and that means having to have the denominators the same.
What both 3 and 12 easily go into is 12.
So we need to make both fractions have a denominator of 12, so we multiply.
2/3 * 4/4 = 8 / 12
1/4 * 3/3 = 3 / 12
Now, we know that she has 8 / 12 pounds, and she uses 3 / 12 of it, so now we subtract to find how much she has left.
8 - 3 = 5
Out of the 12 pounds of roast beef, she now has 5 / 12 left.
