Okay. so I'm gonna assume you know what factor out means--were gonna take out 5/6. what we need to know is, how does that affect our ending number 2/3? well, we're gonna have 5/6 times some stuff first off, right?
5/6 ( )
so what's in the parenthesis? well, if we distribute in our mind, S would just have to be by itself for it to work out. so we have
5/6 ( s )
but what about 2/3? well, if we're multiplying everything on the inside by 5/6, how can be get it to cancel and leave 2/3 alone? we could divide 2/3 by 5/6, right?
5/6 ( s + (2/3) / (5/6) )
now, when we distribute our 5/6, we'll have just 2/3 at the end. now let's simplify that end term so it looks a little better. if we divide by a fracion, that's the same as multiplying by the flipped version, so let's do that.
2/3 / 5/6 = 2/3 × 6/5 = 2 (6) / 5 (3) = 12/15
we can reduce 12/15 by dividing the top and bottom by three.
= 4/5
so our final answer would be:
5/6 [S + 4/5] you can redistribute to make sure it matches. Anyway, hope that helps!
Is it adding ,subracting,mulipty,or divide
_ * 5 > 5
3/3 is equal to 1 which would make them equal to each other.
2/3 is less than one which means it would make the number on the left less than 5, not greater than.
the answer is 5/3 because it is bigger than the other answer choices and will result in a greater number than that on the right.
