The amount of water decreases
pints in 12 weeks.
Solution:
The amount of water decreases in 7 weeks =
pints
The amount of water decreases each week is same.
Let us first change the mixed fraction into improper fraction.
pints =
pints
The amount of water decreases in 1 week
![$=\frac{\frac{77}{8} }{7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7B77%7D%7B8%7D%20%7D%7B7%7D)
![=\frac{77}{8\times7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B77%7D%7B8%5Ctimes7%7D)
![=\frac{11}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B11%7D%7B8%7D)
So, the amount of water decreases in 1 week is
pints.
The amount of water decreases in 12 week
![=\frac{11}{8}\times12](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B11%7D%7B8%7D%5Ctimes12)
![=\frac{132}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B132%7D%7B8%7D)
![=16\frac{4}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D16%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B8%7D)
pints
Hence the amount of water decreases
pints in 12 weeks.

Associative property of addition
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 x 20x - 1/4 x 28<2x - 6 + 2
5x - 28/4<2x - 4
5x - 2x<-4 + 28/4
3x<-4/1 + 28/4
3x<-16 + 28/4
3x<12/4
3x<3
3x/3<3/3
x<1
