The amount flora has is 45.
Answer:
original weight of the box = 15 / 16 pounds
Explanation:
Assume that the original amount in the box is x.
We are given that:
5/8 pounds represent 2/3 of the total amount (x).
This can be translated into the following equation:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Now, we will solve for x as follows:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Multiply both sides by 24 to get rid of the denominators as follows:
(2/3) x * 24 = (5 / 8) * 24
16 x = 15
Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the x as follows:
x = 15 / 16 pounds
Hope this helps :)
<span>x^2 + 1 = 0
x^2 = -1
x =
x = i
:
(x^3 + 2x) = 0
Factor out x
x(x^2 + 2) = 0
x = 0</span>
