He can buy 5 of the $3 nut and 1 of the $5 nuts.
5x3=15
5x1=5
15+5=20 and that’s less than 24.
So Jim can use $20 to buy the $3 one 5 times and the $5 one 1 time.
11.
so we do 40 / 3.667 (3 and 2/3, as far as i can tell) to get x.
so it's 10.9, or 11.
It is! When you're doing a fraction specifically like that, the denominators cancel out. Therefore you can get rid of the 12. It just becomes 21/7, which as you know is 3.
Hope that helps :)
