Yes it can be , in this case it doesn't matter which way it goes
We have question

<span> /*8 (multiply both sides by 8)</span>

/*6 (multiply both sides by 6)

/-30 both sides
8W=-66-30
8W=-96
W=-12
Answer: 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Common denominator is 6 the 1/2 is. 3/6
the 1/3 is 2/6
Subtract. You get 1/6
1500 - 785 = 715
number of minutes per month - number of minutes used = number of minutes left.
a) (0.17 ac)×(126 min/ac) = 21.42 min
b) I can mow 1/126 ac/min; you can mow 1/117 ac/min. Together, we can mow at a rate that is the sum of these:
... (1/126 + 1/117) ac/min = (117 + 126)/(126×117) = 243/14,742 ac/min
Then it will take 14,742/243 min/ac × 0.17 ac/lawn ≈ 10.31 min/lawn
