Mrs. Hanks bought 12-pound ham to serve for the holidays. She plans to serve each person 2/3 of a pound. The equation 2/3x = 12 can be used to determine x, the number of servings, What is the total number of serving she can make?
In this case all we need to do is reverse the functions of the equation in order to find the answer. When you take 12 and divide it by 2/3 you get the answer of 18.
