For this question , you just need to divide 1 7/8 with 1/12

1 7/8 : 1/12

= 15/8 : 1/12

= 15/8 x 12/1

= 22.5 bags.

So i guess she can make around 22 full bags

hope this helps

Answer:

x = - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

$\frac{x+5}{x-2} = \frac{3}{4}\\$

Cross multiplying 4 & 3 gives :-

$4(x+5)=3(x-2)$

And solving this eqn. gives :-

$4(x+5)=3(x-2)\\=> 4x+20=3x-6\\=>4x-3x=-20-6\\=>x=-26$

Verification :-

(putting the value of x = -26 )

$\frac{x+5}{x-2} \\\\=>\frac{-26+5}{-26-2} \\\\=> \frac{-21}{-28} \\\\=>\frac{21}{28}$

Reducing $\frac{21}{28}$ by 7 gives $\frac{3}{4}$ .
