8 stamps. Multiply 2/3 by 12 and you have your answer
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12. Move the variables to the left-hand side and change its sign. Move the constant to the left-hand side and change its sign. Collect like terms. Add the numbers. Divide both sides of the equation by 12.
1/2 x - 5= - 1/2 x + 19/4
6x -20= - 6x + 57
6x + 6x= 57 + 20
12x= 57 + 20
12x= 77
ANSWER
x = 77/12
Alternative Form .
x = 6 5/12, x= 6.416
Solution:
we are given that
In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $6.40 per pound ( 6.40 dollars/lb ).
we have been asked to find the cost per ounce?
As we know that
16 oz=1 lb
so we will divide by 16 to get the cost per ounce.
strawberries cost $6.40 per pound so for 1 oz it will cost $
Hence cost per ounce is 0.40 $
I believe it's a rational number, since it's an integer.
