Answer 1

b. 3.5

Explanation:

The choices are:

a. 3

b. 3.5

c. 4

d. 4.5

The equation is 5 = w +
`1(1)/(2)`

5 -
`1(1)/(2)` =
`3(1)/(2)`

w =
`3(1)/(2)`

`3(1)/(2)` converted into a decimal equals 3.5

So the correct answer is b. 3.5

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Solve for w by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Exact Form: w = 7 2 w = 7 2

Decimal Form: w = 3.5 w = 3.5

Mixed Number Form: w = 3

final answer: choice B
