18 is the least common denominator of all the fractions, so you can eliminate fractions by multiplying the equation by 18.

(4.5*18)x +((7/9)*18)x + (2 1/3)*18 + ((1/6)*18)x = (5 1/18)*18
81x +14x +42 +3x = 91 . . . . . simplify

Collect terms.
98x + 42 = 91
98x = 49 . . . . . . . . . subtract 42
x = 49/98 = 1/2

The solution is x = 1/2.

_____
You can also do the arithmetic with mixed numbers and fractions. The usual methods apply.
  (4.5 + 7/9 + 1/6)x + 2 1/3 = 5 1/18
  (49/9)x + 7/3 = 91/18
  (49/9)x = 49/18 . . . . . . . subtract 7/3
  x = (9/49)(49/18) = 9/18 = 1/2 . . . . . multiply by 9/49
This can be a little more tedious than the method above, but it works and it will give you the right answer. A calculator that works with fractions can make this solution as easy as the other one.

How might this number be shown on a calculator?<br> 5.31x1037 (37 is above 10)<br> [?]e[ ]
Arisa [49]

Answer:

5.31E37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5.31 * 10^{37}

Required

How it'd be displayed on a calculator

Standard calculators, today are built to always convert huge numbers or extremely small number to scientific notations;

This was done to allow the calculator fit each values on its screen

5.31 * 10^{37} is such a big number that it'll require the calculator to display it using scientific notations;

So, basically we have to convert 5.31 * 10^{37} to scientific notaton;

This is achieved by replacing *10^{37} with E37

So, 5.31 * 10^{37} is equivalent to 5.31E37

Mashutka [201]
First we think of a 3 digit dividend for example 100.
Next we think of a divisor between 10 and 29 for example 20.
We divide 100÷20=5

Here's a division problem:

Sophia has 100 pencils. She has 20 boxes with the same number of pencils in them. How many pencils does Sophia put her box?

Divide 100 by 20 which equals 5

Your answer is 5
