61 cups of that cereal and the milk
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the numerator and denominator by
:

Since
, we have
. So substituting the values of <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em> gives us

It is already given in the question that the combined weight of two rocks is 2 /1/2 pounds. The weight of rock A is also known and it is 1/7 of the total weight of the two rocks. This is enough to find the desired solution.
Now
Total weight of the two rocks = 2 1/2 pounds
= 5/2 pounds
Then
Weight of Rock A = (5/2)/(1/7) pounds
= (5 * 7)/2 pounds
= 35/2 pounds
17 1/2 pounds
So Rock A weighs 17 1/2 pounds. This is the weight of Rock A and it is only required for this question. If you are eager to find the weight of rock B then you have to subtract the weight of Rock A form the total weight of the two rocks.
ax - x = c Factor out the x
x (a - 1) = c Divide both sides by (a - 1)
x =
