<span>The lowest common denominator of 5/42 and 7/30 is 210.</span>
Hey.
acc'g to the conditions :
Let Catherine has x
and James has 5 + 3x
Then,
Hence
• Catherine has = x = $9,
• and James has = 5 +3x = 5 + 3(9) = $32

The correct question is
<span>A student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb. Another student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb. Altogether, what weight of candies did they eat?</span>
let
x-------> total <span>weight of candies
we know that
x=(3/20)*x+1.2+(3/5)*x+0.3
</span>x=(3/20)*x+(3/5)*x+1.5----> multiply by 20----> 20x=3x+12x+30
20x=15x+30
20x-15x=30
5x=30
x=6 lb
the answer is
6 lb
