Bobby has 24 pizza slices
he divided them among his friends and each friend got 3 pieces
how many friends did he have
so
24 divided by number of friends=3
24/y=3
multiply both sides by y
24y/y=3y
24 times y/y=3y
24 times 1=3y
24=3y
divide both sides by 3
24/3=3y/3
8=3/3y
8=1y
y=8
8 friends
Answer:
(a) 63 (b) 99
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
length x 2 = 150
275-150=126/2= 63
(b)
8712/88= 99
Here you go. look for the simples method of elimination and solve.
To reduce down a fraction you can try to find factors that go in both the numerator (top # of fraction) and denominator (bottom #)
So, for 6/9, 3 goes in both of them. When you divide each number by 3 you get:
2/3
