an example would be: 9x+5m/2=24
because the variables are x and m
the numbers are 9, 5, 2, and 24
and the operation symbols are +, /, and =
change each mixed number to an improper fraction
33 1/2 = (2*33 +1)/2 67/2
1 1/4 = (4*1+1)/4 = 5/4
67/2 divided by 5/4
copy dot flip
67/2 * 4/5
268/10
26 8/10
26 4/5 miles per gallon
Look at the attached files.
So 1 and 1/2 divided by 1/8. That’s the same as 3/2 divided by 1/8.
Keep change flip.
3/2 x 8/1
24/2= 12
