James had 4/5 qt of milk. He drank 1/3 of the milk.  How much milk did James drink?

Enter your answer, as a fraction in simplest form, in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Determine how much he drank

To do this, we simply multiply the total by the fraction of  milk, he drank.

i.e.

Hence, he drank 4/15 qt

the system of equations that represents this situation are

12x + 6y = 180

x = 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hardcover books that were sold in a day.

Let y represent the number of paperback books that were sold in a day.

The discount bookstore sells hardcover books for $12 and paperback books for $6. The total sales that day were $180. It means that

12x + 6y = 180

The number of hardcover books sold that day was twice the number of paperback books. It means that

x = 2y
