Brooklyn and her friends went into a grocery store and they want to buy some apples and peaches. Each apple costs $1.75 and each peach costs $1.00. How much would it cost to buy 5 apples and 3 peaches? How much would it cost to buy xx apples and yy peaches?

1.75 times 5 equals 8.75
1 times 3 equals 3 so 3.00 plus 8.75 equals 11.75

Let's multiply numerator and denominator by 3.

Yay we did it! We found another fraction which is equivalent to 3/8.
