Answer:
3 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this question, you would need to multiply 7 1/3 with 1/2. The answer is 3 2/3.
Answer:
3 2/3 albums
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the stamp album has 12 stamps (12 is just an arbitrary number used to make calculation easier). If Linda collects half of the album, it means she has 6 stamps. If that is the case, Becky has 6 * 7 1/3 stamps. Since 7 1/3 is equivalent to 22/3, we can determine that Becky has collected 44 stamps (6*22/3). There are 12 stamps in one album, which means there are 44 stamps in 3 2/3 (11/3) albums:
[tex]\frac{12}{1}=\frac{44}{y} \\12y=44\\y=11/3[/tex]
Since the ratio of stamps to albums is constant, the calculation above demonstrates that the number of albums it takes to have 44 stamps is 3 2/3. Please note that the numbers I used are arbitrary. If you substitute 12 for a variable x, you will get the same result.
