You can find a common demominator and then change 8 1/4 into a mixed number and just subtract
Distribute -10
-10n - 50 = 40
Add 50 to both sides
-50 + 50 would cancel
- 50 + 40 = -10
Divide by -10
-10/-10 = 1
N=1
Cheryl can travel 133.92 miles using 6.2 gallons of gas
x/240 = 82/100
240 : 100 = 2.4
so 240 is divided with 2,4 giving 100, this will work with 82 too. So, 82 × 2.4 = 196,8
Answer : x = 196,8
prove :
196,8/240 = 82/100 = 41/50
