Set up an equation
x+58=4x+37
21=3x
x=7
Jim:
x+58
7+58
$65
Jesse:
4x+37
4(7)+37
28+37
$65
1/7 x 9/4 = 9/28
This process to solving division involving fractions is called “keep, change, flip”
Answer:
0.45pound
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it's given Maggi buys 3/4 pounds of blueberry,it's means 3/4*1 .i.e. 0.75 pound and he uses 3/5 of 0.75 pound then it would be 3/5*0.75 .ie 0.45 pound
A = lw
Plug in what we know:
25/54 = (5/9)w
Divide 5/9 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 9/5:
25/54 * 9/5 = w
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
225/270 = w
Simplify:
<span>w = 5/6</span>
