Darryl wants to add enough water to 8 gallons of a $10 \%$ bleach solution to make a $5 \%$ bleach solution. Which equation can he use to find $x$, the number of gallons of water he should add?




Original
(Gallons)
Added
(Gallons)
New
(Gallons)

Amount of Bleach & 0.8 & 0 & 0.8

Amount of Solution & 8 & $x$ & $8+x$


$\left(\frac{0.8}{8+x}\right)\left(\frac{5}{100}\right)=1$
$\frac{0.8}{8+x}=\frac{5}{100}$
$\frac{0.8}{8+x}=\frac{100}{5}$
$\frac{10}{1} \quad \frac{5}{00}=1$

The fractions that have the same denominators are like fractions. They can also be defined as fractions with the same bottom numbers.For example, 11/20, 13/20, 27/20 1/20... These are all like fraction.
We can also convert unlike fraction to like fraction by simply writting them with denominators been their LCM.

Like fractions are fractions that have the same denominator. This commonality allows for simple comparisons and operations such as addition or subtraction. An example of like fractions is 5 2 ​ and 5 3 ​ , which can be added together easily.
