D because it helps better and explains better and makes most sense
3 over 5 x minus 15 = 6 over 5 x plus 12
3/5x - 15 = 6/5x +12
-3/5x+3/5x-15=6/5x-3/5x+12 subtraction property
-15=3/5x+12 simplified
-12-15=3/5x+12-12 subtraction property
-27=3/5x simplified
(5/3)(-27)=3/5 (5/3)x multiplicative inverse
-45=x
Answer: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is for us to calculate the amount of juice that's left.
We are told that Luna mixes 3/4 of orange juice and 3/8 of cranberry juice. The amount of juice mixed will be:
= 3/4 + 3/8
= 6/8 + 3/8
= 9/8
= 1 1/8
We are then told that she gave Mags 5/8 cup of juice. The amount of juice that's then left will be:
= 1 1/8 - 5/8
= 4/8
= 1/2
1/2 cup of juice will be left
