Question

Mary-Ann has $28, which is 2 1 3 as much money as Lola has. How much money does Lola have? find the number

Answer 1

$12

Explanation:

Lola has x.

Mary-Ann has 2 1/3 times what Lola has. Mary-Ann has $28

2 1/3 * x = 28

Change 2 1/3 into a fraction.

(7/3)x = 28

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 7/3 which is 3/7.

(3/7) * (7/3)x = (3/7) * 28

x = 12

Answer: Lola has $12.

Answer 2

Lola has $12

Explanation:

To find how much money Lola has, we need to divide $28 by 2 1/3:

28 ÷ 2
`(1)/(3)` =
`(28)/(1)` ×
`(3)/(7)` =
`(12)/(1)` = 12

Hope this helps! :)
