x = total amount of gumballs
let's start subtracting the balls she's giving away

![\stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Zack's}}{\cfrac{x}{4}-\cfrac{x}{12}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{her sister gets 5 balls of what's left}}{ \cfrac{x}{6}-5 }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bwhat%20was%20left%20minus%20Zack%27s%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7Bx%7D%7B4%7D-%5Ccfrac%7Bx%7D%7B12%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bwhat%27s%20left%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7Bx%7D%7B6%7D%7D%7D~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bher%20sister%20gets%205%20balls%20of%20what%27s%20left%7D%7D%7B%20%5Ccfrac%7Bx%7D%7B6%7D-5%20%7D)
and we also know that after all that has been subtracted, she's only left with 5, so we can say that
![\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}-5}~~ = ~~\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{5}\implies \cfrac{x}{6}=10\implies \boxed{x = 60}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bwhat%27s%20finally%20left%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7Bx%7D%7B6%7D-5%7D~~%20%3D%20~~%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bwhat%27s%20finally%20left%7D%7D%7B5%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7Bx%7D%7B6%7D%3D10%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7Bx%20%3D%2060%7D)
Answer:
the total are is 459
Step-by-step explanation:
3 3/16 divided by 1/8 = 25 1/2 or 25.5
2 1/4 divided by 1/8 = 18
so 18 x 25.5 = 459
hope this helps
Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
because when solving fraction as a equation you divide
