Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.
It is a similar approach here, except the confusing part is working "forward", when you really have to work "backward". If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
Answer:
A. Use the distributive property.
Step-by-step explanation:
We cannot use the distribute property because there are not parentheses to distribute a number through.
5x + 15 + 2x = 24 + 4x
We can collect the terms, and isolate the variable
Joe will have eaten 24/30
Jane will have eaten 5/30
24 / 5 = 4.8
Joe has eaten 4.8 times as much pizza as Jane.
