1/5(3x - 0.5) + 1/6= x/5 + 0.5
change decimals to fractions (0.5=1/2)

1/5(3x - 1/2) + 1/6= x/5 + 1/2
multiply 1/5 by each term in parentheses

(1/5*3x) + (1/5*-1/2) + 1/6= x/5 + 1/2
multiply within parentheses

3x/5 - 1/10 + 1/6= x/5 + 1/2

need a common denominator; all denominators go into 30

18x/30 - 3/30 + 5/30= 6x/30 + 15/30
combine like terms

18x/30 + 2/30= 6x/30 + 15/30
subtract 6x/30 from both sides

12x/30 + 2/30= 15/30
subtract 2/30 from both sides

12x/30= 13/30
multiply both sides by 30 to eliminate fractions

(12x/30)(30)= (13/30)(30)
12x= 13
divide both sides by 12

x= 13/12 or 1.083333


ANSWER: x= 13/12 or 1.083333

Hope this helps! :)

What is 10 1/3 x 1/4? that is, what is ten and one third times one fourth?
Phantasy [73]

Answer: 31/12, or 2 7/12

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is actually very simple. All you have to do is to simplify 10 1/3 into 31/3, as 10x3+1=31. Then, you have to multiply 31/3 with 1/4. Do a simple fraction multiplication, and you get 31/12, or 2 7/12 if your teacher is asking for a mixed number. Sometimes simplifying is better

2 divided by 1 and 6/7
ale4655 [162]

This problem, as written, requires a bit of guessing regarding your intentions.  My interpretation is that you want to do this division:


    2

----------

 1  6/7

If that's correct, here's what to do:  rewrite 1  6/7 as 13/7 (an improper fraction).

Then divide:

   2

--------      This is equivalent to the multiplication (2/1)(7/13) = 14/13 (answer)

 13/7
