Answer:
<em>2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
<em>A jar can hold 3/4 of a pound of flour. Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar. What fraction of the jar is filled? Enter your answer in numerical form.</em>
<em />
Given
<em>Amount a jar can hold a = 3/4 of a pound of flour</em>
<em />
<em>If Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar, then the amount emptied into the jar b = 1/2 pounds</em>
<em />
<em>Fraction of jar filled will be expressed as b/a as shown;</em>
<em>b/a = (1/2)/(3/4)</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 ÷ 3/4</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 * 4/3</em>
<em>b/a = 4/6</em>
<em>Simplify to the lowest term</em>
<em>a/b = 2*2/2*3</em>
<em>a/b = 2/3</em>
<em />
<em>Hence 2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>

Answer:x=7
y=2 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x-5)=12
6x-30=12
6x=12+30
6x=42
6x/6=42/6
x=7
6y-5=12
6y=12+5
6y=17
6y/6=17/6
y=2 5/6
