1(Identifying):
Tomatoes-x--$3 per lb
Mushrooms- 1/3 x-- $10 per lb
Peaches- x+1-- $6 per lb
2(Equation):
3x+6(x+1)+1/3x*10=80
3x+6x+6+10/3 x=80
12 1/3 x= 74
x=74÷(12+1/3)
Step 3(Final Equations):
74*3/37=6=tomatoes
Meaning...
6+1=7=Peaches
6/3=2= mushrooms
Answer:
7 lb of peaches, 6 lb of tomatoes, and 2 lb of mushrooms
Answer as an improper fraction = 13/8
This is equivalent to the mixed number 1 & 5/8
In decimal form, 13/8 = 1.625
=========================================
Work Shown:
3/4 = (3/4)*(2/2)
3/4 = (3*2)/(4*2)
3/4 = 6/8
----------
7/8 + 3/4
7/8 + 6/8
(7+6)/8
13/8
So 7/8 + 3/4 = 13/8
