In a far-off land three fish can be traded for two loaves of bread and a loaf of bread can be traded for four bags of rice. How many bags of rice is one fish worth?

One fish can be traded for 2 2/3 bags of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Key:

F = One fish

L = Loaf of bread

R = Bag of rice

So, with that set we see that:

3F = 2L & L = 4R

2L for 2 x 4 = 8R

So,

3F = 8R OR 3:8 OR 8/3

8/3 = 2 2/3, which is the answer.

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
