Answer:
Luisa has $18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ Carlos has $24
∵ Carlos has 1 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] as much money as Luisa has
→ Let Luisa has x dollars
∵ Luisa has x dollars
∴ Carlos money = 1 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] × x
∴ Carlos money = 1 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x
→ Change the mixed number to an improper fraction
∵ 1 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1(3)+1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
∴ Carlos money = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x
→ Substitute the Carlos money by 24
∵ 24 = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x
→ Multiply both sides by 3
∵ 24 × 3 = 4x
∴ 72 = 4x
→ Divide both sides by 4
∴ 18 = x
∴ Luisa has $18
