Answer:
The rational number equivalent to 3.24 repeating is 321/99
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert the decimal number to a rational number we can state this number and its multiples of 10, trying to find two number with identical decimal parts:
n=3.24242424...
10n=32.4242424....
100n=324.2424242...
Now, 100n and n have the same decimal part, then by subtracting these numbers we obtain:
100n-n=324.24242424...-3.24242424... = 321
99n = 321
n = 321/99
The first equation, make the y as the subject. y = 3 + 5x, then substitute y in the second equation and you will get the value of x. then, substitute the x in the first equation (y = 3 + 5x)
68= 4x-2+30 (notice they are vertical angles)
68= 4x+28
40=4x
10=x
68+y= 180 (forms a straight angle)
y=112
Final answer: x=10, y=112
Answer:
15 and 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Call x the time taken by the first chap, and y the second.
Let's divide by 5 and play with the LHS of the first equation a bit:
we know how much x+y is ( first equation!) let's solve.
At this point it's easy to check that
