You want to make the fractions have the same denominator.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
now subtract the numerator and keep the denominator the same...
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
5 1/2 is the answer

First change the fractions to a common denominator of 12.
2/3= 8/12 1/4 = 3/12
Now you can subtract the fractions.
(8/12)-(3/12)=5/12

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and almonds. For 6 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $12

CaHeK987 [17]

Solution:

Let each pond of jelly beans cost $x.

and each pond of almonds cost $y.

Then we can write

$6x+2y=12.......(i)$

$3x+5y=15.....(ii)$

Now solve these two equations together using substitution we get

$3x=15-5y$

$30-10y+2y=12\\
\\
-8y=12-30\\
\\
-8y=-18\\
\\
y=2.25\\
\\
3x=15-5y=15-5*2.25=3.75\\
\\
x=1.25$

Hence each pond of jelly bean cost 1.25$

Each pond of almond costs 2.25$

Two brothers are saving money to buy tickets to a concert. their combined saving is $55 one brother has $15 more than the other.

Vladimir [108]

Brother one: x

Brother two: x + 15

---

Make them add up to 55 in an equation.

x + (x + 15) = 55

Combine like terms.

2x + 15 = 55

Subtract 15 from both sides.

2x = 40

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 20

Plug 20 for x into brother two.

(20) + 15 = 35

Brother one has saved $20, brother two has saved $35.
