Its 2 8/15 Conversion a mixed number 1 2
5
to a improper fraction: 1 2/5 = 1 2
5
= 1 · 5 + 2
5
= 5 + 2

To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 5
5
= 5
5
b) Add the answer from previous step 5 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 5 + 2 = 7
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 5.
One and two fifths is seven fifths
Conversion a mixed number -1 2
15
to a improper fraction: -1 2/15 = -1 2
15
= -1 · 15 + (-2)
15
= -15 + (-2)
15
= -17

To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number -1 by the denominator 15. Whole number -1 equally -1 * 15
15
= -15
15
b) Add the answer from previous step -15 to the numerator 2. New numerator is -15 + 2 = -13
c) Write previous answer (new numerator -13) over the denominator 15.

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(5, 15) = 15. The fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - seven fifths minus minus seventeen fifteenth = thirty-eight fifteenths.

X = 59, y = 44
2x + 18 + x - 15 = 180
3x + 3 = 180
3x = 177
x = 59
x - 15 = y
59 - 15 = y
44 = y
Answer: 31.2 pies
Step-by-step explanation:
Kim sold pies for $5.00 each and earned $156 from doing so.
The number of pies she sold to get to this was x pies.
The formula for doing so is therefore:
5 * x pies = 156
5x = 156
x = 156 / 5
= 31.2 pies
