Problema Solution

If 3/8 of the money in Rebecca’s savings account is enough to cover half the cost of a new car, how much of the money in her savings account will she need to cover the entire cost?

Answer provided by our tutors

We can write:


(3/8)*T=(1/2)car

(6/8)*T=1 Car


Or:

(3/8)+(3/8)=6/8


Rebecca will need to use 6/8 of what she has in her savings account.
