Answer 1

The answer is 2 2/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

b = 5/12

Explanation:

1. Cross multiply -> 1 x 5 = 5 and 3b x 4 = 12 b

2. Simplify -> 5 = 12b and switch sides so it's easier: 12b = 5

3. Divide both sides by 12 -> 12b ÷ 12 = b and 5 ÷ 12 = 5/12

4. So, the answer is b = 5/12

Hope this helps! :)
