1. move 78.2 over to the over side. This will give you 287-78.2.
2. when you have .5x = 208.8, divide both sides by .5
3. this should give you x= 417.6
4. make sure to check your work by plugging you answer back into x.
1/2 in. = 5 miles
1 in. / 2 = 1/2 in.
8 * 2 = 16
16 * 5 = 80 miles

first I made the fraction have equal denominators which was 6 by doing that I multiplyed the numerator and the denominator
1/2
1×3=3
2×3=6
therefore 1/2 being equivalent to 3/6
1/3
1×2=2
3×2=6
therefore 1/3 being equivalent to 2/6
now you would be able to add the numerators, so 2+3=5
therefore being 5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures
The answer is 72.1.you should dot infront sizes and then equals them
