Answer:

7/12.

=x/x+5.

x-5/x+5+4=⅛

x-5/x+9=⅛

x-5=⅛(x+9)

x-5=⅛x+1⅛

x-⅛x=1⅛+5

⅞x=49/8

7x=49

x=7

thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>

A flower box is 3 ft. Long, 2 3/4 ft. Wide, and 1/2 ft. Deep. How many cubic feet of dirt can it hold? A. 4 1/8 B. 5 3/4 C. 6 1/
pochemuha

Answer:

The box can hold 4 1/8 cubic feet of dirt

Step-by-step explanation:

What we simply have to find here is the volume of dirt it can take

To get this, we have to multiply the dimensions of the box

We have this as follows

Volume or box = length * width * height

Volume of box = 2 3/4 * 1/2 * 3

Volume of box = 11/4 * 3 * 1/2 = 33/8 = 4 1/8 cubic feet
