Answer:
2 pt + 1c
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 cups in a pint. So, 2c = p, dividing 2 from both sides, we get
c = (1/2)p
Replace c with 1/2 p in the equation
5 pt - (2pt + (1/2)p)
= 5pt - 2pi - (1/2)p
= 3pt - (1/2)p
= 2pt + (1/2)p
Replace back (1/2)p for c
2pt + (1/2)p =
2 pt + 1c
To reduce<span> a </span>fraction to lowest terms<span> (also called its simplest form), divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. For example, 2/3 is in </span>lowest<span> form, but 4/6 is not in </span>lowest<span> form (the GCD of 4 and 6 is 2) and 4/6 can be expressed as 2/3.
38/80= 19/40</span>
He would use 3 cages for the canaries (6 in each) and 6 cages for the parakeets (7 in each)
1) 1/5 (x-25) = 7
1/5x - 5 = 7
Add five to both sides
1/5x = 12
Divide both sides by 1/5
x = 60
