What we have to do here is multiply the number of bottles by the number of pennies in each bottle!
so, six bottles by 678 pennies:
6*678=6*(600+70+8)=3600+420+48=4020+48=4068
so she has 4068 pennies
The group with need to fill the spoon a total of 3 times this is because 1/8+1/8+1/8=3/8
Let's put it into perspective.
x/(x+5)
If increase by 3:
(x+3)/(x+8) = 3/4
Cross multiply.
4(x+3)=3(x+8)
4x+12 =3x+24
Solve algebraically.
4x-3x = 24-12
x = 12
Therefore, original fraction is:
12/17
