Caleb had to share 3 1/4 boxes of supplies with his 12 classmates. So, the fraction of each student receives 13/48 of a box of supplies.
To find out what fraction of a box each student receives, we need to divide the total number of boxes (3 1/4 boxes) by the number of students (12 classmates).
Step 1: Convert 3 1/4 to an improper fraction.
3 1/4 = (4 × 3 + 1) / 4 = 13/4
Step 2: Divide the total number of boxes by the number of students.
Fraction of a box per student = (Total boxes) / (Number of students)
Fraction of a box per student = 13/4 ÷ 12
Step 3: To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number (flipping the fraction).
Fraction of a box per student = 13/4 × 1/12
Step 4: Simplify the fraction if possible.
Fraction of a box per student = 13/4 × 1/12 = 13/48
So, each student receives 13/48 of a box of supplies.

The larger of two numbers is 1 more than twice the smaller. The sum of the numbers is 20 less than three times the larger. Find the numbers. I NEED help please. I'm getting extremely frustrated!!
Answer:
13 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = larger number
Let y = smaller number
The larger of two numbers is: x =
one more than twice the smaller: 2y + 1
x = 2y + 1 {equation 1}
The sum of the numbers is: x + y =
20 less than three times the larger: 3x - 20
x + y = 3x - 20
This can be simplified. Subtract 3x from both sides.
x - 3x + y = -20
-2x + y = -20 {equation 2}
Since we already know from equation 1 that x=2y+1, substitute that into equation 2
and solve for y:
-2(2y+1) + y = -20
-4y - 2 + y = -20
-3y - 2 = -20
-3y = -18
y = -18/(-3)
y = 6
x = 2y+1 = 2(6)+1 = 12 + 1 = 13
Your numbers are 13 and 6
