Is 1/3 equivalent to 1/3x explain your reasoning
Answers
To solve this, basically we just have to solve for x to see if it gives us a true statement. Since x is a variable, it could represent any number... so we have to determine whether the statement could be true with any other numbers as well...
1/3 = 1/3x divide each side by 1/3 (multiply by the reciprocal)
1/3 x 3/1 = x
1 = x
So when x = 1 then the statement 1/3 = 1/3x is true. If we put any other number as x the statement would be false... for example if you let x = 2, then 1/3 x 2/1 = 2/3... that does not equal 1/3 so it is a false statement and they are not equivalent when x = 2.
Your answer is, YES 1/3 is equivalent to 1/3x but ONLY when x = 1

So basically, you can set this up in a proportion.
For every gallon of punch, 2 cups of cranberry juice is needed. What you need to find is the amount of cranberry juice is needed for one gallon. So then you would have to set up your proportion like this:
then you would have to cross multiply, and you should have something like this:
3x = 2
then using division you should have this:
x =
so you would need 2/3 cups of cranberry juice for one gallon of punch. :)
hopefully this makes sense, lol.

What I did to start with was to find the lowest number that both 12 and 10 could divide into, that number is 60.
I know 60 divided by 12 is 5 and I know that 60 divided by 10 is six.
Then I took 5 and multiplied it by 3 and got 15. I did this step because you need 5 packages of cups and each package cost 3 dollars.
Next I took 6 and multiplied it by 5 and got 30. I did this step because you need 6 packages of plates and each package cost 5 dollars.
You would then take 30 dollars and 15 dollars and add them together to get your total.
The answer is 42 dollars.
