The equation: 6s - 10 = s
Add 10 to each side: 6s = s + 10
Subtract 's' from each side: 5s = 10
Divide each side by 5 : s = 2
Ok so to find the eggs left we need to subtract but with fractions, you need a common denominator. You can multiply 1/6 by 2 because 6·2=12 which will be the same denominator as 7/12. You must multiply the numerator by 2 as well so 1/6· 2/2= 2/12. Now subtract 7/12 - 2/12 and you have 5/12 eggs left. :)
The answer of this is gonna be 7
Answer:
He has to dip it 5 times
Step-by-step explanation:
each time he dips it, he gets 1 1/2, or 1.5 gallons. how many times can you add 1.5 to 6 1/2, or 6.5. It is 4 1/3 times, but since you can't dip the bucket 1/3 of a time, it is counted as 1, so 5
