2x/7 = 12/14
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
2x = 84/14
Simplify:
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2 and your answer is....
x = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Weight of the package = weight of product + weight of box
Weight of empty box =0.88lb
Total weight of the box is =7.24lb
Let Weight of product inside box=w
Let wet of empty box =y
Total weight = F
Then,
F=y+w
Since F=7.24lb. y=0.88
Then, w=F-y
w=7.24-0.88
w=6.36lb
The weight of the product is 6.36lb
Yes you can divide fractions using models here is an example
If 3 is 50%
3 x 2 = 6
If 6 is another 50%
6 x 2 = 12
If 12 is another 50%
12 x 2 =24
Therefore there were 24 cherries in the bowl!
