Y=12/x
12/2=6
12/4=3
12/8=1.5 or 3/2
12/12=1
Answer is b
get a common denominator of 18
5/6 * 3/3 +4/9 * 2/2 - -2*18/18
15/18 +8/18 + 36/18
23/18 + 36/18
59/18
change to a mixed number
18 goes into 59 3 times with 5 left over
3 and 5 /18
Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)
[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
If she works 40 hours getting paid $12 an hour she will get $480
