Alex had 2 toy cars. His friend Jacob come with 2 more times the 3 he left at Alex house already. How many toy cars is it all together ?
Steps:
1. Turn the two mixed numbers into improper fractions.
36/5 and 18/5
2. Now divide the fractions by doing the reciprocal with the second fraction and changing the problem to a multiplication problem
36/5 times 5/18
3. 36 times 5=180
5 times 18=90
4. You simplify 180/90 by seeing how many times 180 goes into 90
5. Your answer is 2
5.
To find this, you can do the is over of technique.
The is over of technique is as says - is over of and percent over one hundred.
If you use this technique, your equation should look like this:
x/50 = 10/100
Cross multiply 10 and 50 and divide by 100 to get the answer of 5.
Hope this helps!
The answer is C, good luck
