Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Half of two of something would be only one of that something. In this case the something is 1/3 so our answer is 1/3.
5x+3=3x+7
<em></em>-3 = -3
2x+3=7
-3= -3
2x=4
x=2
Answer:
Well, how many were left over? Mrs. Adams has a muffin factory and made 1 million muffins. Carl ate 2/5 or 40% or 400,000 muffins, and John ate 25. 599,975 muffins were shipped for sale. That meets the stated requirements.
Hence, we have to guess there were supposed to be no muffins left over.
In that case, Mrs. Adams baked 125/3 muffins, Carl ate 2/5 of them = 50/3, leaving 75/3 = 25 for John.
Step-by-step explanation:
x muffins baked, 2/5 eaten by Carl, 3/5 left to be eaten by John, who ate 25 before running out.
3/5 x = 25
x = 25 × 5/3 = 125/3 = 41 + 2/3
Or, Start with x muffins. Carl ate 2/5 x, leaving 3/5 x. John ate 25 with zero left over. So 3/5 x = 25.
(x - 2/5 x) - 25 = 0
3/5 x = 25
x = (5/3) × 25 = 125/3.
