Answer:

  a) b = (1/2)/(2/3); b = 3/4

  b) it takes 3/4 bucket to fill a barrel

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Apparently, the number of buckets and the number of barrels is proportional, so we can write an equation for b, the number of buckets to fill a barrel, as ...

  buckets/barrels = b/1 = (1/2)/(2/3) . . . . the equation

Of course, b/1 = b, so we simply need to simplify the compound fraction to find the solution.

  b = (3/6)/(4/6)

  b = 3/4 . . . . the solution to the equation

__

b) The solution to the equation is the answer to the question. It takes 3/4 bucket of nuts to fill the barrel.
