Answer:
y= 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 y + 7 = 15
Subtract 7 from each side
2/3 y + 7-7 = 15-7
2/3 y = 8
Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate y
3/2 * 2/3 y = 3/2 * 8
3/2 * 2/3 y = 3 * 4
y = 12
Answer:
The volume of the carton is 5 1/3 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A carton has a length of 2 2/3 feet, width of 1 1/3 feet, and a height of 1 1/2.
The dimensions can be rewritten as
Length of carton =2 2/3 = 8/3 converting to improper fraction).
width of 1 1/3 feet = 4/3 feet
and a height of 1 1/2= 3/2 ,feet
volume of the carton = length of the carton × width of the carton × height of the carton
Volume of carton = 8/3 ×4/3 × 3/2
= 96/18 cubic feet
Converting to mixed fractions, we have
96/18= 5 1/3 cubic feet
3/3 = 1
4/4 = 1
1 × 1 = 1
3/3 × 4/4 = 1
