Let's write an equation and solve for x
12 1/2 = 5x + 3 1/3
rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions and with denominator 6
75/6 = 5x + 20/6
subtract 20/6 from both sides
55/6 = 5x
divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
11/6 = x
That is 1 and 5/6 pounds per each of the friends

To check:
<span>12 1/2 =?= 5(1 5/6) + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 55/6 + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 25/2
12 1/2 = 12 1/2

Hope this helps</span>

Answer:

  7 cm, 4.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths can be found from the law of cosines. Each triangle has legs 3 cm and 5 cm. The angle between these will be 60° or 120°. Then the two sides of the parallelogram are ...

  s = √(a² +b² -2ab·cos(C))

  s = √(3² +5² -2·3·5·(±1/2)) = √(34 ±15) = {√49, √19}

The two side lengths are 7 cm and about 4.4 cm.
