Given the length of the chain as 10 $\frac{2}{3}$ and there is a ribbon tied to it every $\frac{2}{3}$ , we can take the total length of the chain and divide by the measure of $\frac{2}{3}$ :

$10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}$

$\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{96}{6}=16$

When dividing with fractions, we use the rule of 'keep/change/flip' to keep the first fractions, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

X°,Y° and Z° are three angles lying on a straight line.If X°=2y° and Z°=3y°,find he value of y

maks197457 [2]

Answer: " y = 30° " .
_____________________________________
<u>Note</u>: The sum total of the measure of all angles lying on a straight
             line is 180°.

So;   x + y + z = 180 .

Given:    x = 2y ;
              z  = 3y ;
__________________
Find the value of: " y " ;
_______________________
Since:   x + y + z = 180 ;

Substitute: "2y" for "x" ;
          and: "3y" for "z" ;
_______________________
       2y + y + 3y = 180 ;

                6y = 180 ;
______________________
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
___________________________
       6y/ 6 = 180 / 6 ;

             y = 30 ;
____________________________
Let us check our work;
____________________________
     2y + y + 3y = 180 ;

Substitute our solved value: "30" ; for "y" ; in the equation; to see if the equation holds true:
____________________________
2(30) + 30 + 3(30)  =? 180 ?
____________________________
   60  + 30 + 90 = ? 180 ?
____________________________
             90 + 90 = ? 180 ? Yes!
