The correct answer is C.
Let x be the number. Then:
(frac{1}{6 } x = 6 frac{1}{3 }x – 2 frac{7}{15} ⇒ 6 frac{1}{3 }x – frac{1}{6 } x = 2 frac{7}{15 } ⇒ frac{37}{6 }x = frac{37}{15 })
(X = frac{2}{5 })
Then:
(1 frac{4}{5 } x = frac{9}{5 } × frac{2}{5 } = frac{18}{25 })
(4, (frac{18}{25 }) = frac{37}{25 } =frac{82}{25 })The Absolute Best Books to Ace Algebra
