Answer: 1⁵/₈ pints

Step-by-step explanation:

First can contained 3¹/₄ pints and second can contained 6¹/₂.

To make them equal, first find the different;

= 6¹/₂ - 3¹/₄

= 6.5 - 3.25

= 3.25

Divide this difference by 2;

= 3.25/2

= 1.625

= 1⁶²⁵/₁₀₀₀

= 1⁵/₈ pints

If Carson pours 1⁵/₈ pints from the second Can, it would increase the first can to 4⁷/₈ pints whilst reducing the second can to 4⁷/₈ pints as well.

Write a word problem for the equation. <br> 1/2 (x-4) = 1/3x + 2

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write a word problem for the equation.

$\frac{1}{2} (x - 4) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2$

Let x represent the present age of Carlos.

Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.

Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)

Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2
