1/3 is equal to 2/6
This is because 1/3 converted to 6ths you have to multiply 1/3 times 2 which equals 2/6
1/3 = 2/6
Let the total amount of pages be t
t=30+1/8t+2/8t
now simplify
t=30+3/8t
5/8t=30
divide 30 by 5
1/8=6
now you know 1/8 of the book is 6 pages which means the whole book has 48 pages.
The problem is -2a - 5 > 3
we have - 2a>3+5
or - 2a>8 and now we divide by - 2
and a< 8/(-2) or a< -4
That means you have to choose D- the last line
