Cindy claims that if there is a variable is in the denominator, the equation three over x plus one over three equals five over s

ix becomes unsolvable. Cindy explains, "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero." Demonstrate to Cindy how the equation is still solvable and show all work for full credit.

x = 6

given \frac{3}{x} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

to eliminate the fractions multiply through by the lowest common multiple of x, 3 and 6 , that is 6x

multiply all terms by 6x gives

18 + 2x = 5x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

18 = 3x ( divide both sides by 3 )

6 = x

As a check

\frac{3}{6} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

One bag of rice that weighs 4.5 pounds will have enough rice if a recipe calls for 60 ounces of rice. (1 pound = 16 ounces)
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bag of rice is 4.5 pounds, and there are 16 ounces per pound, multiply 16 x 4 = 64. Now what is half of 16? 8! So divide 5/8 = 0.625.

So in the end, yes the bag of rice will have enough rice. Here's my math:

16 x 4 = 64

5 / 8 = 0.625

So, you will have 64.625 ounces of rice which is plenty for your recipe!
