Hi there!
Below is the fraction we are working with:
To simplify this fraction down to its lowest form, we see what number(s) can go into the numerator and the denominator evenly. We can start off with the number 2. 2 goes evenly into each number, can't it? :)
So, we can cut down to 
.
is already in it's simplest form. Now, we can see if they're equivalent. If not, we have to start all over.
Since equals 83.3, we have to make sure does, too.
Just divide the numerator by the denominator to see what you have.
5 ÷ 6 = 83.3 with a repeating decimal, so they're equivalent!
Hope this helps!
If you need anything else, don't just sit there - Let me know! :D
You'll do the (whole)(outside)= (whole)(outside) so, set it up like this: (5+3)3= (x+4)4now work it out with PEMDAS: 15+9=4x+16combine like terms: 24= 4x+16subtract the 16 from each side: 8=4xlastly, divide by 4 on each side to get x=2
got this from someone who answered this for me
Hi there!
In order to find your answer, you'll need to use the cross product method :
150 miles → 2 1/2 hours = 150 minutes
x miles → 3 hours = 180 minutes
(150 × 180) ÷ 150 = x miles
27,000 ÷ 150 = x miles
180 = x miles
Your answer is: A train would cover 180 miles in 3 hours.
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
