Do the crossing out method. so if it is 2.50 per pound for peaches, try A, 11 pounds. 2.50 times 11 is 27.5, and now we have the rest, 154 pounds as apples so we multiply it by 1.75 which is 269.5, we add them up and we dont get 337.50, so we try out b, 18 times 2.5 is 45 so we still have 147 pounds left for apples, multiply it by 1.75 which is 257.25 and if we add up 45 and 257.25 we dont get 337.5 so now we try c which is 65, multiply it by 2.5 its 162.5 and we have 100 pounds of apples left. we do the same and we get 175, 175 plus 162.5 is 337.5 so C/3 is the correct answer
The answer is <span>77.2727272727273% hopw this help

You can set both fractions to have the same denominator by multiplying 6/8 (both the 6 and 8) by 2 to keep the value of the fraction, while turning the denominator to 16. So you get 12/16=y/16.
That means for the equation to be true y has to be 12.
Hope this helps!
