5th grade math. Correct answer will be marked brainliest.

Least common denominator of 2 and 8: 8

5 x 1 = 5

8 x 1 = 8

1 x 4 = 4

2 x 4 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 and 1/2 are not equivalent; the wording is weird on this question, it almost makes it sound as if it wants you to make 5/8 and 1/2 equivalent fractions.

I assume it only wants you to set it up so that in part 2 you will be able to easily figure out how much wire Mr. Barber has used total. Which will be 9/8 yards, by the way. Alternatively, 1 1/8 yards.

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

therefore your answer is

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4
