Answer:

5/6 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mark read 2 1/2 books last week. This week, he read a bit more with 3 1/3 books.

To find how many more books he read, we must subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/3:

3 1/3 - 2 1/2

Let's convert these into improper fractions first:

3 1/3 = (3 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3

2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2

Now, we have:

10/3 - 5/2

In order to subtract these, we must find a common denominator. For 2 and 3, the LCM is 6, so we can use that as our common denominator:

10/3 * 2/2 = 20/6

5/2 * 3/3 = 15/6

Finally, we have:

20/6 - 15/6 = (20 - 15) / 6 = 5/6 books

Which property of equality would you use to solve the equation 14x=56
galina1969 [7]
The answer is The Multiplication or Division Principle of Equality. It states that if you multiply or divide both sides of an equation by an expression, the resulting the equation will be equivalent to the original equation.

14x = 56
x = 4 <-- Divide both sides by 14

So, x is equal to 4.<span />
