Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 = he has 5 at the end.

gave 2/3 to son which means 15 out of 10 to son.

gave half to daughter which is 15/30, so he ends up with 2 and the least amount he can start with is 30.

Write a mixed number that is equivalent to 16/3.
mars1129 [50]
A mixed number is an integer--whole number--in front of a fraction. To calculate this, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator and put the remainder over the denominator. 

Since 3 goes into 16 wholly 5 <em />times with 1 left over, 16/3 = 5 1/3.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!!!! IM TIMED

Set up an equation to solve.

$8.50x (since it is the rate of change) + $12 (flat fee) = total money earned (or y). In this case, we have the total, amount, and are looking for x. Plug $139.50 into the equation.

$8.50x + $12 = $139.50

Now, solve for x.

$8.50x + $12-12 = $139.50-12  > <em>$8.50x = $127.5</em>

$8.50/8.50x = $127.5/8.50 > <em>x = 15</em>

So, the correct answer is <u>D. Olivia babysat for 15 hours.</u>
