I guess it is simplifying the expression:

After the first, we have 2/3 left, the second and third took 1/6 and 1/4, or 5/12 (1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=(2+3)/12=5/12). Now, we just subtract 5/12 from 2/3, so 2/3-5/12=8/12-5/12=(8-5)/12=3/12=1/4. This means we have 1/4 of an hour left.
The option that explains Sarita's mistake is Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification.
<h3>What was Sarita's mistake?</h3>
The given equation is: 5(x - 3) + 7(x + 4) = 73
In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:
1. Apply the Distributive property:
5x - 15 + 7x + 28 = 73
2. Add similar terms together:
12x + 13 = 73
3. Combine similar terms:
12x = 73 - 13
4. Add similar terms
12x = 60
5. Divide both sides of the equation by 12
x = 60 / 12
x = 5
In order to verify the answer, substitute for x in the given equation :
5(5 - 3) + 7(5 + 4) = 73
5(2) + 7(9) = 73
10 + 63 = 73
73 = 73

Answer:
83% are boys
Step-by-step explanation:
Im not sure if you have to round but you take the total number of family members (6) and divide it by how many boys (5) which would be 0.8333333 which you can round to either 80 or 83
