Answer:
give me a minute to find the answer
First, you need to get the denominators (the bottom number) the same. The smallest number to get them to is 15.
So, what you need to do is take 2/5 and multiply the bottom by 3 to get 15, and since you did it to the bottom, you need to do it to the top too. So you would get, 6/15.
Then, for 1/3, take the bottom number and multiply it by 5. Then, since you did it to the bottom, do it to the top as well. You would get 5/15.
Then, you need to put them side by side. You don't add the bottom, so your denominator would remain 15, but your numerator (top) would get added.
<u> 6</u> + <u>5</u> = <u>11</u>
15 15 15
Charmaine= x
William=x+3
3 times Charmaine = 3x
2times William = 2x+6
5x+6=76
5x=76-6
5x=70
X=14
Charmaine is 14
William is 3 years older so is 17
Check:
17x2= 34
14x3=42
34+42=76
So Charmaine is 14
William is 17
Answer:
Jesse needs to work 43 hours in the month to make $400 and $60
work for answer: 9.50 x 43 = 408.5
example why it can't be lower or higher than 43 hours 9.50 x 42 = 399 or 9.50 x 44 = 418
