3 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of weeks, we have to equate the amount already saved and planned to save by both each week.
So we can write the expression as,
Let w be the number of weeks.
25 + 5w =16 + 8w
Grouping the terms as,
25 - 16 = 8w - 5w
9 = 3w
Dividing both sides by 3, we will get,
3w/3 = 9/3
w = 3
So number of weeks = 3
Answer: 1/2
Let the missing fraction be x
x + 1/16 = 3/2
Make x the subject by subtracting both sides by 1/16
x = 3/2 - 1/16
x= 24 - 16/16
= 8/16; divide through by a common value of 8
x = 1/2
I hope this helps.
