Use division to write 2 equivalent fractions
6/12

1/2 and 2/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To make an equivalent fraction, you have to multiply or divide the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) by the same number. For 6/12, we can divide the numerator and denominator by 6, which gives us 1/2. We can also divide the numerator and denominator by 3, and we get 2/4. 1/2 and 3/4 are 2 equivalent fractions, but there are tons more of equilalent fractions to 6/12.  

f he made a first payment of $20 shortly after the purchase, he would have a balance of $180-$20=$160, before they applied the first $15 finance charge, but he will see a balance of $180-$20+$15=$175 (with the finance charge) in that first statement.

Each month, his balance will change by -$20+$15=-$5, so it will take him, another 32 payments to reduce that $160 to $0. That month, he will pay the $20 balance to get a balance of zero, and hopefully see no more finance charges.

In all, paying the minimum $20 payment each month, Malik will make 33 such payments for a total of $660. If he saved $20 per month, he could have saved $180 in 9 months, or $260 in 13 months, and he would have saved a lot of money. He would probably have to pay the $250 regular price, and would have missed about a year of roller blading, but he would have saved $660-250=$410.
