Answer:

The value of the equation for b is \frac{29}{18}=b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{4}b -\frac{7}{12}

We need to solve the provided equation for b.

Add 7/12 from both side.  

\frac{5}{8}+\frac{7}{12}=\frac{3}{4}b -\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}

\frac{5}{8}+\frac{7}{12}=\frac{3}{4}b

Multiply both the sides by 4.

4\times \frac{5}{8}+4\times \frac{7}{12}=4\times \frac{3}{4}b

\frac{5}{2}+\frac{7}{3}=3b

\frac{15+14}{6}=3b

\frac{29}{6}=3b

Divide both the sides by 3.

\frac{29}{18}=b

Hence, the value of the equation for b is \frac{29}{18}=b.

The carnival charges $5 admission and $0.50 for each ride. Alex's dad gave him $15 to spend. How many rides can he go on at most
Oxana [17]

Let us suppose number of rides is x.One ride costs $0.50.

Cost of x rides is 0.50x. The carnival charges is $5. Alex has $15 to spend .

Number of rides at most Alex can have can be given by the inequality:

0.50x+5≤ 15

To solve for x we subtract 5 both sides

0.50x≤ 15-5

0.50x≤ 10

Dividing both sides by 0.50 we have :

x≤ 20

Number of rides at most Alex can have is 20.
