5/8 = 2/3 the entire box

Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1

So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.

5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16

5/8 + 5/16

Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:

10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16

So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.

Two and two fifths divided by one and a half
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

8/5 or 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

1 1/2 = 3/2

Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...

12     3         12    2        24     8             3

—  ÷ —   =   — × —    =  —  = —   <em>or</em>  1  —

5       2         5     3        15      5             5

*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of stdents that has all grades in the school.

There are three grades in the school. One grade has 1/3 of the students, this means that number of students that belongs tho this grade is 1/3 × x = x/3

One grade has 1/4 of the students, this means that number of students that belongs to this grade is 1/4 × x = x/4

Total number of students in both grades would be x/3 +/x/4 = 7x/12

The number of students in the remaining grade would be

x - 7x/12 = 5x/12

fraction of students in the remaining grade would be

(5x/12)/x = 5/12
