Eighths and their multiples are common fractions which I recommend memorizing, but to actually solve this, you use the literal meaning of a fraction and divide 5 by 8. See the long-division below (it was surprisingly difficult to type, so I hope it helps!).
To round 0.625 to the nearest hundredth, we go to the second decimal place, which is 5, so we round up to 0.63.
Answer:
Equivalent systems of equations review
Step-by-step explanation:
We're given two systems of equations and asked if they're equivalent.
x + 4y = 8 (1)
4x + y = 2 (2)
Interestingly, if we sum the equations in System A, we get:


Replacing the first equation in System A with this new equation, we get a system that's equivalent to System A:


This is System B, which means that System A is equivalent to System B.
Answer: 110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.
x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)
x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)
We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.
x+y=170
Sub in the value of y from the second equation
x+(x-50)=170
2x-50=170
2x=220
x=110
We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.
x+y=170
110+y=170
y=60
So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
