Hi there!
Work out the parenthesis.
Combine like terms.
Subtract 9 from both sides.
Subtract 4x from both sides
Divide both sides by -9
Each pretzel is 4.5 $
1.50 • 5 = 7.5
7.5 - 30 = 22.5
22.5 / 5 = 4.5
so in conclusion, those are some expensive a** pretzels.
First, I would multiply the last two fractions because they're smaller and easier to work with:
Now that we've simplified it, we could multiply these terms and simplify. An easier method, however, would be to cancel out any common factors among the numerators and denominators before multiplying:
We can now multiply these terms:
The <span>product of 8/15, 6/5, and 1/3 is B, 16/75.</span>
Ratio 5:4
Total shares = 5+4 = 9
then to find for 1 share = 54/9 = 6
So Sam share = 6 x 5 = 30
Bethan share = 6 x 4 = 24
Poof: 30+24 = 54
