Show your work and explain in a full sentence how 4 2/6 is equivalent to 3 8/6
PLEASE HELP ASAP

Multiply the whole numbers by their denominators and then add the product to their numerators. You will notice that they equal the same improper fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 * 6 = 24.

24 + 2 = 26.

4 2/6 as an improper fraction equals 26/6.

3 * 6 = 18.

18 + 8 = 26.

3 8/6 as in improper fraction equals 26/6 as well.

So that is how they are equivalent.

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
