Question

We do not understand 2 b - how do you write an equation that can be solved using Jadas strategy. We don’t understand how to get to the answer of 10/3

Answer 1

The Solution to Question 2(b):

The question says that we write an equation that can be solved using the other person's strategy.

The other person's strategy here is referring to Jada's strategy.

This strategy states that we should multiply both sides by 3/2 because it is the reciprocal of 2/3.

Example of an equation that can be solved by multiplying both sides by 3/2 because it is the reciprocal of 2/3 is:

`(2)/(3)x=4`

Solving for x with Jada's strategy, we get

`(3)/(2)*(2)/(3)x=4*(3)/(2)`
`\begin{gathered} x=2*3 \\ \\ x=6 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the required equation is:

`(2)/(3)x=4`
