Answer:
0.166
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,
1 week = 7 days
i.e.
6 week = 7(6) days = 42 days
We need to express ratio 7 days to 6 weeks as a decimal fraction. So,
It would be the last one because 5 columns are shaded and there are 10 columns all together. 50/100= 0.5
Multiply the first equation by -2. It turns into 4x+18y=50 and the other one stays -4x-9y=-23. Then you "eliminate" the equations by "adding" them. Set it up like this:
4x+18y=50
+
-4x-9y=-23
4x-4x= 0. 18y-9y= 9y and 50-23= 27
SO: 9y= 27 and y= 3
And then you plug that in to one equation: 4x +18(3)= 50. 4x= 50-(18*3)
4x= -4, so x=-1.
Plug it back in to check!
Hope this helps. Happy solving! :)
Answer
Fill the 5 gallon jug.
Pour the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug.
Empty the 3 gallon jug and pour the remaining 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug.
Fill the 5 gallon jug and pour 1 gallon into the 3 gallon jug (remember it will only take one gallon)
Viola the remaining 5 gallon jug will have exactly 4 gallons remaining.
