Answer:

Tim can get 12 wallets

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first have to calculate the price that it costs to make 1 single wallet

To calculate it we have to divide the $ 32 by the number of wallets that they tell us

$32 / 5 = $6.4

Now we have to divide the $ 80 by the price that each wallet costs

$80 / $6.4 = 12.5

because we cannot buy half a wallet, we will remove the numbers that are after the decimal point, leaving only the whole number

12.5 = 12

Tim can get 12 wallets

Greetings and Happy Holidays!

Let x represent the total area of land

We can create an equation to solve for the unknown, this being the total area:
$x= \frac{1}{3}x+ \frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{3}{8}x+9$

Combine like terms (terms with the same variable and degree):
$x= \frac{1}{3}x+ \frac{2}{8}x+ \frac{3}{8}x+9$

$x= \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{8}x+9$

$x= \frac{8}{24}x+\frac{15}{24}x+9$

$x=\frac{23}{24}x+9$

Add $-\frac{23}{24}x$ to both sides.
$(x)+(-\frac{23}{24}x)=(\frac{23}{24}x+9)+(-\frac{23}{24}x)$

$x-\frac{23}{24}x=9$

$\frac{24}{24}x-\frac{23}{24}x=9$

$\frac{1}{24}x=9$

Divide both sides by $\frac{1}{24}$
$\frac{\frac{1}{24}x}{\frac{1}{24}}=\frac{9}{\frac{1}{24}}$

$x=(9)(\frac{24}{1})$

$x=(\frac{9}{1})(\frac{24}{1})$

$x=\frac{216}{1}$

$x=216$

The Answer Is:
$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=216\end{array}\right]$

James has 216 square units of land.

Hope this helps!
