harold and millicent are getting married and need to combine their already - full libraries . if harold , who has 1 / 2 as many books as millicent , brings 1 / 3 of his books to their new home , then millicent will have enough room to bring 1 / 2 of her books to their new home . what fraction of millicent ' s old library capacity is the new home ' s library capacity
because we see h willbring 1 / 3 of his booksto the new home - - > try to pick a number that isdivisible by 3 . before : assume h = 30 books h = 1 / 2 m - - > m = 60 books after : h ' = 1 / 3 h = 10 books m ' = 1 / 2 m = 30 books total = 40 books m ' = 40 = 5 / 6 * 60 ratio : 5 / 6 ans : e
subtract(const_1, multiply(divide(1, 3), divide(1, 2)))
