Answer: y = x + 1/3

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write equations with the information given:

The amount of blackberries that each one ate:

Nate (x)= x ounces

Emily ate ⅓ more than that. So, we have to sum the amount eaten by Nate(x) and 1/3.

Mathematically speaking:

Emily (y) = Nate + 1/3

y = x + 1/3

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
