Since 1/6 of the day was spent in the flower bed and 2/3 of that was spreading mulch, we need to find 2/3 of 1/6 to find out how much of the day was spreading the mulch.
In math "of" means times
"is" means equals
2/3 of 1/6 is
translates to
2/3 x 1/6 =
Now we just multiply the numerators across and denominators across then reduce if possible...
2/3 x 1/6 = 2/18
2 and 18 both divide by 2 so it reduces
2/18 = 1/9
Tom spent 1/9 of the day spreading mulch.
You can always add or subtract
same value to/from both sides of equation. The same is true about multiplication and division.
In your case you have to subtract
x from both sides of equation in order to get rid of it on the left side:


But it's easier to remember that if you want to move some member of equation to other side, you just have to
change it's sign. Let's practice a bit using your equation (I have added "plus" signs where they are usually omitted to better understend what's going on):

Move
2y to the right side:

Move
8 to the left side:

Move both
x and
2y to the right side:
Answer: a line segment has a start and end point. a ray has one starting point and goes on forever. a line has no start or stop. it just goes on forever. hope this helps!!!
Good luck!!!!!!!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two containers in which four parts has to be filled in each, therefore, the fraction greater than one will be= 
=
The whole number greater than one will be= 2
Hence, the whole number and a fraction greater than one to name the part filled is 2 and
