sandy made 8 friendship bracelets. she gave 1/8 to her best friend and 5/8 to her friends on the tennis team. write and solve an equation to find the fraction of her bracelets, b , sandy gave away1

Respuesta :

Answer:

(3/4)b

Explanation:

• Fraction given to her best friend = 1/8

,

• Fraction given to her friends on the tennis team = 5/8

To calculate the total proportion of the bracelet she gave away, we add:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (\frac{1}{8}+\frac{5}{8})b \\ =\frac{6}{8}b \\ =\frac{3\times2}{4\times2}b \end{gathered}[/tex]

Reducing the fraction to its lowest form by canceling out 2 gives:

[tex]=\frac{3}{4}b[/tex]
