Answer:
8x = 136
Where: x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Joshua is writing a novel. He wrote the same number of pages each day for a 8 days. At the end of 8 days he had 136 pages complete. Write an equation relating x, the number of days, to y, the total pages.
Let the number of pages read per day = x
Hence, the number of pages after 8 days = 8 × x = 8x
Total number of pages = y= 136
Therefore:an equation relating x, the number of days, to y, the total pages.
= 136 = 8x
Solving for x
136/8 = x
x = 17
Method A: 7.6666.... = 7 + 0.6666... = 7 + 2/3 = 21/3 + 2/3 = 23/3
Method B: 10(7.666...) - 1(7.666...) = 76.666... - 7.666... = 69.000...
(10 - 1)(7.666...) = 69
7.666... = 69/9 = 23/3
Step one. create a common denominator.
ex. 15
walnuts = 10/15 dried fruit= 9/15
so if you had 15/15 pounds of dried fruit you would need 16/15 pounds of walnuts
which is 1 1/15 pounds of walnuts
