Oliba is 48 inches tall and 2/3 as tall as her brother how tall is her brother

Mathematics

X= brother's height

Multiply 2/3 by the brother's height (x). This equals the sister's 48 inch height.

2/3x= 48
divide both sides by 2/3
x= 48 ÷ 2/3
multiply by the reciprocal of 2/3
x= 48 * 3/2
x= (48*3)/2
x= 144/2
x= 72 inches, the brother's height

ANSWER: The brother is 72 inches tall.

Hope this helps! :)

Fiona was thinking of a number. Fiona doubles it, then adds 5 to get an answer of 49.2. What was the original number?

22.1
She added 5 so you take away 5 which would be 44.2 then she doubles it another word for multiplication so you do the opposite and divide by 2 and you get 22.1

2/3(6c+4)-(8c-5) Please explain how to do the problem.
irga5000 [103]
2/3(6c+4)-(8c-5)
1) Get rid of the negative signs
New equation (the ones in bold are the changes): 2/3(6c+4)+(-8c)+(5)
2) Use distributive property for the first part by multiplying 2/3*6c= 4c and 2/3*4= 2 2/3
New equation: 4c+2 2/3+ (-8c) + 5
3) Combine like terms: 4c+(-8c)= -4c and 2 2/3+5= 7 2/3
New and simplified equation: -4c+ 7 2/3
