Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
(1/3) x = (5/6)
Discussion:
I think you are asking for this equation:
(1/3) x = (5/6) => multiply both sides by 3
(1/3) 3 x = (5/6) 3 => as (1/3) *3 = 1
x = 5*3/6
x= 15/6
x = 5/2 = 2.5
Thank you,
MrB
If Carlos must place all the books on shelves, he may possibly use 10 shelves if he is to place 4 books per shelf, or 5 shelves if he is to place 8 books on each.
Answer: The numbers are 14 2/3 and 43 1/3 (you can also write it as 44/3 and 130/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=58
2y-4x=28
This is a system of equations, so you can make the y equal to each other by: 2x+2y=116
Now you can subtract the equations from each other, so you have
2x+2y=116
-(2y-4x)=28
The y cancels out, leaving you with 6x=88, so x=14 2/3
When you plug x in, you get y=43 1/3
I got x=0 because I simplified both sides of the equation and then isolated the equation
