Ok so for this problem you you divide 2/3 n by 2/3 and 7/8 by 2/3
you get n= \frac{7}{8} /  \frac{2}{3}
to divide fraction you flip the divider over to find the reciprocal
2/3 > 3/2 also you change the division symbol to the multiplication symbol
the equation now is n=  \frac{7}{8} * \frac{3}{2}
now you multiply to get 21/16 
the answer is 1 5/16 after you simplify it

Answer: Hello there!

We know that 7/8 lb is equivalent to 2/3 of the entire bag, then the equation to find the number of pounds in the original bag is:

(2/3)*n = 7/8lb

and we want to find the number n.

The first step is divide both sides of the equation by 2/3 (or multiply both sides by 3/2 )

then

(3/2)*(2/3)*n = (3/2)*(7/8)lb

n = (3*7)/(2*8)lb = 21/16lb

now we can "break" the 21 in 16 + 5

n = (21/16)lb = (16 + 5)/16lb = (1 + 5/16)lb

Equation with angles can someone please answer helpppp
Elden [556K]

Answer:

x = 18°\\\angle A = 73°

Step-by-step explanation:

By interior angle property on one side of the transversal.

\angle A+ \angle B = 180°\\6x - 35° + 3x + 53°  = 180°\\9x + 18° = 180°\\9x = 180° - 18°\\9x = 162°\\x = \frac{162°}{9}\\ \huge \red {\boxed {x = 18°}} \\\therefore \angle A = 6x - 35°\\\therefore \angle A = 6\times 18°- 35°\\\therefore \angle A = 108°- 35°\\ \huge \purple {\boxed{\therefore \angle A = 73°}} \\
