Solve for x:(5 (x - 1/3))/(8) = 5/12
Put each term in x - 1/3 over the common denominator 3: x - 1/3 = (3 x)/3 - 1/3:(5 (3 x)/3 - 1/3)/(8) = 5/12
(3 x)/3 - 1/3 = (3 x - 1)/3:(5 (3 x - 1)/3)/(8) = 5/12
3×8 = 24:(5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12
Multiply both sides of (5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12 by 24/5:(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = (24×5)/(5×12):(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (5×24)/(5×24)×(3 x - 1) = 3 x - 1:3 x - 1 = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = 5/5×24/12 = 24/12:3 x - 1 = 24/12
The gcd of 24 and 12 is 12, so 24/12 = (12×2)/(12×1) = 12/12×2 = 2:3 x - 1 = 2
Add 1 to both sides:3 x + (1 - 1) = 1 + 2
1 - 1 = 0:3 x = 2 + 1
2 + 1 = 3:3 x = 3
Divide both sides of 3 x = 3 by 3:(3 x)/3 = 3/3
3/3 = 1:x = 3/3
3/3 = 1:Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Susan needs to walk a total distance of 1/2 of a mile. She has walked 1/8 of a mile so far. How much further does she have to go? Simplify the fraction if possible.
They need to get at least 250 boxtops each day to meet or exceed the goal. Hope this helps!
