If b = boys......and there are 5 more girls then boys.....then the expression that represents girls is : b + 5

b + b + 5 = 27
2b + 5 = 27
2b = 27 - 5
2b = 22
b = 22/2
b = 11......there are 11 boys

g = b + 5
g = 11 + 5
g = 16....there are 16 girls

Jim washes 2/3 of his car with 1/2 a bottle of soap. What fraction of the soap will he use to clean his entire car?​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

if he uses 1/2 for 2/3, then you can divide 2/3 and 1.2 by 2 to get the remaining soap needed to complete the wash

so to clean the last 1/3 of the car, he`ll use 1/4 of the remaining soap

the entire car needs <u><em>3/4 of a bottle of soap</em></u>
