crystal is picking blueberries.so far,she has filled 2/3 of her basket,and the blueberries weigh 3/4pound .the equation 2/3w=3/4
can be used to estimate the weight w in pounds of the blueberries when the basket is full. about how much will the blueberries in crystal's basket weigh when it is full
In order to do this, we multiply both sides be the amount that would make the left side equal to 1. This number is the reciprocal of the fraction, so we multiply both sides by 3/2. This is equal to:
w = 9/8
So, the blueberries in crystal's basket will weigh 9/8 pounds when it is full.
