Question

Kayleigh babysat for 11 hours this week. That was 5 fewer than 2/3 as many hours as she babysat last week, H. Write an equation to represent the number of hours she babysat each week.

Answer 1

⅔h – 5 = 11

Explanation:

h = babysitting hours last week

⅔h = two-thirds of those hours

⅔h - 5 = five hours fewer than two-thirds of those hours

⅔h – 5 = 11

The equation is ⅔h – 5 = 11.
