Answer:
The correct answer is not shown in your picture. You must get a = 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/2)a + (2/3)b = 50
b = 30
(1/2)a + (2/3)(30) = 50
(1/2)a + 20 = 50
(1/2)a + 20 - 20 = 50 - 20
(1/2)a = 30
2 * (1/2)a = 2 * 30
a = 60
The correct answer is not shown in your picture. You must get a = 60.
You plug in the values so it would be 24=15k. Divide by 15 on both sides so k=24/15=1.6. :)
Keep, change, flip
Example: 3/4 divided by 6/8
Step 1: keep 3/4
Step two: change the division sign to a multiplication sign
Step 3: flip 6/8 and make it 8/6
Step 4: multiply it, then that’s your answer to the division problem
