1.Identify the fractions. Using the distributive property, you’ll eventually turn them into integers.
2.For all fractions, find the lowest common multiple (LCM) -- the smallest number that both denominators can fit neatly into. This will allow you to add fractions.
3.Multiply every term in the equation by the LCM.
4.Isolate variables adding or subtracting like terms on both sides of the equals sign.
5.Combine like terms.
6.Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.
Let that certain number be 'n'
50% (n) = 39
50% ⇒ 0.5
0.5 (n) = 39
Divide both sides by 0.5
0.5n = 39
/0.5 /0.5
n = 78.
So that certain number is actually <em><u>78! :)</u></em>
CROSS CHECK:
50% of 78
0.5 × 78
= 39
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of apples = number of containers × mass in each container
6 lb = No of containers × ½ lb
No of containers = 6/½
To divide a whole number by a fraction, invert the fraction and change divide to multiply.
6/½ = 6 × 2/1
Multiply the numerator by the whole number.
6 × 2/1 = 12/1
Simplify the fraction.
12/1 = 12
Elise can make 12 containers of applesauce.
He used 53 pounds. I got this by using two equations.
a+b=117
and
5.8a+4.1b= 569.8
I took the first equation and subtracted 'b' so the equation looked like a=117-b.
I then plugged in 117-b into the second equation, so it ended up looking like this:
5.8 (117-b)=569.8
5.8 times 117 is 678.6. And 5.8 times negative b is negative 5.8b.
The equation now looks like this:
678.6-5.8b+4.1b=569.8
Add like terms
678.6-1.7b=569.8
Then subtract 678.6 from both sides
-1.7b= -108.8
divide each side by -1.7
you get b= 64.
But because you are looking for how many pounds for a, subtract 64 from 117. You get 53. 53 is the answer.
