3x - 1 = 2x
3x = 2x + 1
3x - 2x = 1
x = 1
Answer:
They caught: 11/12 pounds of fish
Explanation:
First, you need to change them to the same common denominator. Since 3 and 6 already go into 12, you just have to change 1/3 and 1/6 to a denominator with 12.
First, you need to change 1/3 to 4/12. By doing that, you do 1/3x4/4=4/12.
You then have to change 1/6 to 2/12. By doing that, you do 1/6x2/2=2/12.
Then you just add up all the fractions and simplify 4/12+2/12+5/12=11/12.
You can't simplify 11/12 any further so your answer would be:
They caught 11/12 pounds of fish in total.
8 and a half, Its pretty easy to figure this out, just 0.4 x 8 and that is 3.2 then add a half.
