let's firstly convert both fractions with the same denominator, by simply multiplying one by the denominator of the other, let's proceed,

\bf \cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{3}{3}\implies \cfrac{3}{15}~\hspace{7em}\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{5}{5}\implies \cfrac{5}{15} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \boxed{\cfrac{3}{15}}\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}~~\cfrac{4}{15}~~\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{\cfrac{5}{15}}

well, low and behold, 4/15 doesn't simplify further and is right between those two, and its denominator is not 4.

Jamal planted 53 fewer flowers than Heidi. Write an expression to show how many flowers Heidi planted.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

y = x + 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of flowers Jamal planted and y the number of flowers Heidi planted.

Jamal planted 53 fewer flowers than Heidi:

x = y - 53

Isolate the y.

x + 53 = y (Change the - sign to + sign when switching from different sides of an equation)

y = x + 53
