Well, 6/8 can be simplified: divide the numerator and denominator by 2, then your simplified fraction is 3/4. Now, multiply straight across: 4 times what=12? 3 does. So, you do the same thing to the numerator, because whatever you do to the denominator must be done to the numerator, and same reversed. 3*3=9, so the answer to this is 9/12!!
Basically we want to know how many times 5/8 goes into 5 1/4.
5 1/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 × 8/5 = 42/5 = 8.4 bags
Since we cannot have a fraction of a bag, he can fill 8 bags completely.
answer: 8 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call x the lenght and y the height. The perimeter will be:
p = 2x + 2y = 10
When the lenght is halved and the height double we'll have:
p = x + 4y = 14
These 2 equations form a system of equations2 that can be solved and give as result:
y = 3
x = 2
