Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.

20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)

(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)

(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)

(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)

20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6 

So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds

Edwin ate 1/4 of 3/4.

3/4-3/16

12/16-3/16=9/16

Christina ate 1/3 of 9/16

multiply 1/3 by 9/16

1/3*9/16=3/16

find the leftover by subtracting 3/16 from 9/16

9/16-3/16=6/16
