Answer 5

Set up a system of equations where Bob is A, Becky is B, and Charlie is C:

A = (7/3)B
A = (13/5)C

Rearrange for C and substitute to solve for C:

C = (5/13)A
C= (5/13)(7/3)B
C = (35/39)B

Answer 6

Mcmadlala, you set up your equation with "2 1/3" as "2*1/3." It should be 2 plus 1/3, not 2 times 1/3. Also, you set your second fraction to be "2 2/3" when it should really be "2 3/5." I know that you did not just make typos, either, because the way that you wrote the equation gives the answer of one half of Becky's, but I believe that the answer is actually 35/39 of Becky's.
