Answer: 1⁷/₈ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the whole melon is the sum of the 1¹/₈ pounds given to the neighbor and the 6/8 pounds remaining.

Convert improper to proper:

1¹/₈  = 9/8

= 9/8 + 6/8

= 15/8

= 1⁷/₈ pounds

Solve: (x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38
Rainbow [258]
First you have to rewrite the equation:
(x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38

Second you have to write the division as fraction:
(¼x) + 8 = 38

Third you have to take off the unecessary bracket:

¼x + 8 = 38

Fourth multiply 8 and 38 by 4
x + 32 = 152

Fifth step move the constant to the right hand and change the sign.
x = 152 - 32

Then subtract:

x = 120

Hope this helps :))
