5 6 9
Step-by-step explanation:
5 6 9
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
8b - 1 = 24b + 4
8b - 1 + 1 = 24b + 4 + 1
8b = 24b + 5
8b - 24b = + 5
-16 = + 5
-5/16
Answer: b = -5/16
