You have to divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). For example, 1/2 is 0.5
However, some end up as never-ending decimals, like 1/3, which converts to 0.333 repeating.

Hope this solution helps you
<h3>
Answer: $628 </h3>
==========================================================
Work Shown:
x = Ali's share
4x = Pip's share, because it is four times bigger due to the ratio 4:1
x+4x = 5x = total amount of money = 785
5x = 785
x = 785/5
x = 157 dollars is Ali's share
4x = 4*157 = 628 dollars is Pip's share
Note that 157+628 = 785 to help confirm the answer.
B. no the answer isn't reasonable, it should be about 3 quarts.
Hey there!
The main concept of pre-algebra is solving equations for variables in them.
For example, let's say you have the algebraic equation below.
x+1=3
With algebra, you need to figure what x is equal to. To do so, you will use inverse operations on both sides of the equation to isolate x one side, showing what it is equal to.
We would subtract 1 to both sides to isolate x on one side.
x+1-1=3-1
As you can see, +1-1=0, therefore, this would give us x+0, or just x. Now it is isolated and will show us what it is equal to.
x=3-1
x=2
Therefore, in our equation x+1=3, x would be equal to 2.
