Question In Comments

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\] n = \[\frac{ 5 }{ 8 }\] Choices: a. \[6\frac{6 }{7 }\] b. \[1\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\] c. \[\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question? and what does n represent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Euler271 yes what does n represent.. I would of made it more clearer but I couldnt sorry about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea what the question is though. Do any words come with it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Euler271 no let me re write it.. 1 2/3 x ? = 5/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1 \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\] \[\frac{ 5 }{ 3 } * x = \frac{ 5 }{ 8 } ---> x = \frac{ 5 }{ 8 } \div \frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\] \[\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } \div \frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\ = \frac{ 5 }{ 8 } \times \frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\ = \frac{ 15 }{ 40 }\ = \frac{ 3 }{ 8 }\]
