.17 because there is a zero behind the 7! .170 and .165. .17 is bigger
Answer:
The smallest number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using simultaneous equation;
x+y = 18.....(1)
4x-y = 17.....(2)
from equation (1)..
x+y = 18
y = 18-x...(3)
substitute y into equation (2)
4x-y = 17
4x-(18-x) = 17
4x-18+x = 17
4x+x = 17+18
5x = 35
x = 35÷5
x = 7
substitute x into equation (3)
y = 18-x
y = 18-7
y = 11
Therefore; x=7
y=11
11+7=18
(4×7)-11=17
the smallest number is 7
So remember that (a/b)(c/d)=(ac)/(bd)
convert to imporoper number for easy
4 and 1/4=4+1/4=16/4+1/4=17/4
2 and 2/3=2+2/3=6/3+2/3=8/3
length times base=17/4 times 8/3=
(17 times 8)/(4 times 3)=
136/12=
34/3=
33/3+1/3=
10+1/3=
10 and 1/3 square yards
area is 10 and 1/3 square yards
