Please help me with my math problem. 4 loads of stone weigh 2/3 of a ton. Find the weight of 1 load of stone. thank you.
Accepted Solution
A:
[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} loads&tons\\ \cline{1-2} 4&\frac{2}{3}\\\\ 1&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}=\cfrac{~~\frac{2}{3}~~}{x}\implies 4=\cfrac{~~\frac{2}{3}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}\implies 4=\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x} \\\\\\ 4=\cfrac{2}{3x}\implies 12x=2\implies x=\cfrac{2}{12}\implies x=\cfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
