Let substitue: 52.5/x= 5/4: ( I Reduce 15/12 into 5/4).Cross multiply: 210=5x: Divide by 5 both sides. x=42. Then add the 42 and and the 12 to find the whole distance which is 54.

When you divide the top and bottom of 2/8 by 2 you will get 1/4 which is the same as 1/4.
Let the balance = Y and the number of weeks = x
She takes out 15 per week, so multiply 15 by x ( the number of weeks) to get 15x.
You would then want to subtract that from the amount she started with in her account.
The equation becomes: Y = 150 - 15x
