Answer 1

Answer:

D. 200-2/3x=2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell that one side of the equation is going to have only 2/5 because the problem said there was 2/5 of a ton left. You can also figure out that the equation should say 200-2/3x because the problem said that the conveyor belt removes 2/3 of a ton per minute. So, the equation should be...

200-2/3x=2/5, which is D.

Hope this helps c:
