y=1/2x
Answer:
Mia multiplied one side of the equation by 5/3 and the other side by 3/5. This makes the equation unbalanced and untrue. x should be 50

Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Marcellus drank 1/4 gallon of the limeade and Marcy drank 1/8 gallon of the limeade
Given that only 5/8 portion of the pitcher contains limeade
Total amount drunk = amount drunk by Marcellus + amount drunk by Marcy
Total amount drunk =
= ![\frac{3}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D)
The amount of Limeade remained = The amount initially - the amount drunk
The amount remained =
= ![\frac{1}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D)
Fractional part = amount remained / amount initially =
= ![\frac{2}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D)
