The answer would be 9 because if you add one more 3rd to the number 6 that would be 3 so 3 * 3 = 9 there are 9 people in the book club
4*2/5 = 22/5
16*1/2 = 33/2
22/5 ............. 1 min
33/2 ..............x min
x = 33/2 : 22/5 = 33/2 x 5/22 = 165/44 = 3,75 min

Answer:
The equation is 3x + 24 = 6x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Zach's age = x
If Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3.
Zach = 3(x + 8)
= 3x + 24
James = 6x
Zach's age = James's age
3x + 24 = 6x
Collect like terms
24 = 6x - 3x
24 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
x = 24/3
= 8
x = 8
Check
Zach = 3(x + 8)
= 3(8+8)
= 3(16)
= 48 years
James = 6x
= 6(8)
= 48 years
The equation is 3x + 24 = 6x
Here is your equation:

To subtract fractions, the denominator must be the same. The denominator is the bottom number in the fraction. The 2 denominators are 5 and 6. In order to make them the same, you have to find the LCM OF 5 and 6. To find it, list the multiples of both numbers and see which is common.


The LCM of 5 and 6 is 30. Now change the mixed numbers so that they have common denominators.


Here is your new equation:

Now you have a problem. You're subtracting a smaller fraction from a bigger fraction. That means you need to remove 1 from the whole number and add it to the fraction. Here's how:

Here is your new equation:

Subtract:

Since the denominator(top number) is a multiple of the numerator(top number), divide both numbers by the numerator.

Your answer is
