W=A\L
Divide L from both sides
The L in the right cancels out
J=amount Jake has; F=amount Fred has=2J
J+F=$54
J+2J=$54
3J=$54
J=$18
ANSWER 1: Jake has $18.
F=2J=2($18)=$36 ANSWER 2: Fred has $36.

Answer: The midpoint of segment PQ is the number 2.5
note: 2.5 as a fraction is 5/2; as a mixed number 2.5 converts to 2&1/2
============================================================
Explanation:
Apply the midpoint formula to get the midpoint of -8 and 6
We simply add up the values and divide by 2 and we get (-8+6)/2 = -2/2 = -1
So point Q is at -1 on the number line, which is exactly halfway from R to P
Focus on just points P and Q now. Apply the midpoint formula again
Q = -1
P = 6
(Q+P)/2 = (-1+6)/2 = 5/2 = 2.5
So the midpoint of segment PQ is 2.5
The decimal 2.5 can be written as the mixed number 2&1/2, showing that this new point is exactly halfway between 2 and 3.
