The answer to the question is the second option.
6 more gallons, I don’t know how it’ll be as an inequality though, maybe. 40x/4= 24x/4=6 ?
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Pete found 5/6 of a party sand which in the refrigerator. He took 1/2 of the 5/6 of the sand which to his neighbors.
This is calculated as:
1/2 × 5/6
= 5/12
Hence, he took 5/12 of the sand
How much of the original sand which did pete take to his neighbors.
Let the original sand be represented as 1
Hence:
5/6 = 5/12 sand
1 = x
Cross Multiply
5/6x = 1 × 5/12
x = 5/12 ÷ 5/6
x = 5/12 × 6/5
x = 1/2
Therefore, pete took 1/2 of the original sand to his neighbors.
I belive what you did wrong is that you didint show your work so what you have to do is explain how to do the problem with equations or explain in word form if i were you i would show my work in equations if you need help on how to set it up contact me.
