Answer:
x >2.2034
Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps :)
The problem statement gives a relation between the amount removed from one bag and the amount removed from the other. It asks for the amount remaining in each bag. Thus, there are several choices for variables in this problem, some choices resulting in more complicated equations than others.
Let's do it this way: let x represent the amount remaining in bag 1. Then the amount removed from bag 1 is (100-x). The amount remaining in bag 2 is 2x, so the amount removed from that bag is (100-2x). The problem statement tells us the relationship between amounts removed:
... (100 -x) = 3(100 -2x)
... 100 -x -3(100 -2x) = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side
... 5x -200 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses and collect terms
... x -40 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
... x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 40
- 40 kg is left in the first bag
- 80 kg is left in the second bag

The amount removed from the first bag is 60 kg. The amount removed from the second is 20 kg. The amount removed from the first bag is 3 times the amount removed from the second bag, as described.
C
because you would take 3/4 and multiply it by 3/3 to get the denominator to 12
and you would multiply 1/3 by 4/4 again to get the denominator to 12.
You are getting the denominator to 12 because 12 is 3 and 4s Most Common multiple!
Now that you have multiplied them you should have 9/12 and 4/12
Then you subtract 4 from 9 to get 5.
So the answer is 5/12!
