Stephen buys a melon and divides it into 6 servings. he eats one third of the melon over the weekend. how many slices of melon does stephen eat over the weekened?
Let a= melon b= servings of melon c= slice of melon
equation 1 a= 6b equation 2 a= cb equation 3 2/3a=a-1/3a 2/3 = 6b-1/3a 2/3cb= 6b-1/3cb 6b= cb c= 6 slices There are 6 slices per serving, thus Stephen ate 6 slices over the weekend
