c. 26
d. 1 3/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think it may be B.
but why do you think that i want to see if i am wrong?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
of course they want it evenly between 4 people yes but i m thinking that you divide 4 by 6.5 and get 1.625 so to me it would be B. i am unsure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean 6.5 by 4

then when you divide 5/ 8 you get .625
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[6 \frac{ 1 }{ 2}=\frac{ 4 }{ 1 }= \frac{ 52 }{ 2 }= 26?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[6 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }= \frac{ 13 }{ 2 }= \frac{ 4 }{ 1 }=\frac{ 52 }{ 2}= 26?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
