Lets convert the fraction first to ease the calculations:
2 5/8 = 16/8 + 5/8 = 21/8
so now we can operate easily, to calculate we need to multiply 21/8 by 2/3 that is because, if 1/3 is used then 2/3 are left over (1/3 + 2/3 = 1, the total), so we have:
(2/3)(21/8) = (2*21)/(3*8)
= 42/24
= 21/12
= 7/4
so 7/4 are left over
Answer: $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the small candy be represented by x.
The medium candy was twice as expensive as the small candy. This will be: = 2×x = 2x
The large candy was $5 more than the medium candy. This will be: = 2x + 5
Since Jason spent a total of $30 on
candy, the cost of the small candy will be:
x + 2x + 2x + 5 = 30
5x + 5 = 30
5x = 30 - 5
5x = 25
x = 25/5
x= 5
The small candy cost $5
