He ate 5/12 in all because 1/4 and 1/6 are equal to 3/12 and 2/12 and the sum of those two is 5/12

Since we know that he ate 1/4 pound one time, and 1/6 another time, we have to add up the fractions. 

1/4+1/6

LCM of 4 and 6 = 12

3/12 + 2/12 

Add the numerators: 

5/12

So, he ate 5/12 of a pound of bars in both breaks. 

Hope this helps!

please explain the steps that are used to solve this??? Given:2(10 -13x)+9=-34x+60 Step 1:20-26x=-34x+60 Step 2:-26x=-34x+40 Ste
solmaris [256]
You left out the 9 in the whole equation. The 1st step you had right you just forgot to put +9. 2nd step you are combining the like terms and get 11-26x=-34x+40. Step 3: you are trying to isolate the x on one of the sides. You need to switch the 11 over to the 40 and get 29. Move -34x over to -26x and get 8x. Step 4 all you are doing in dividing 8 from both sides and get 5.

A school goes through 10 gallons of milk in 3 days.
Akimi4 [234]
G = gallons     d = days
10g = 3d
?g = 1d
1g = ?d
-------------
for gallons in a day, divide 10g = 3d by 3
d = 10/3 gallons
3 and 1/3 gallons in a day
---------------
for days per gallon, divide 10g = 3d by 10
g = 3/10 days
1 gallon lasts 3/10 of a day
