Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
2 & 1/4 <u>OR</u> 2.25 cups fills the container!
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1 & 1/2 (aka 3/2) fills 2/3 of the container, then:
we know that <em>half</em> of 3/2s fills 1/3 of the container
To find half of 3/2, we multiply 3/2 by the <em><u>inverse</u></em> of 2, which is 1/2.
3/2÷2
3/2×1/2 = 3/4 ths
Now that we know 3/4ths fills 1/3 of the container, we add that to 1& 1/2.
3/4+ 1&1/2 = 2 & 1/4
Check your work!
3/4 × 3 should equal 2&1/4 if we are correct
3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4.
Simplify!
9/4 = 2&1/4
That tells us that <u>we</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u>!</u>
Hope this helps!
Yes, because if you devide 2 by 5 it equals a decimal of .4

Answer:
100W + 25L
Step-by-step explanation:
100 (week) + 25 (lawn) = money earned
100W + 25L
I would subtract the 2nd from the first one
so -4x - -2x = -2x
4y - 4y = 0
-20 - -2 = -18
-2x = -18
now I would divide that by -2 to get the value for x
so no we have x = 9
now you just have to substitute that into one of the equations and simplify to get y
-2 X 9 + 4y = -2
-18 + 4y = -2
4y =16
y = 4
