Answer:
5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42
Step-by-step explanation:
We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:
1/8.4 = 5/42
1/8.8 = 5/44
1/9.2 = 5/46
1/9.6 = 5/48
__
<em>Check</em>
- 1/8 = 0.125
- 5/42 ≈ 0.119
- 5/44 ≈ 0.114
- 5/46 ≈ 0.109
- 5/48 ≈ 0.104
- 1/10 = 0.100
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.
To do this without a calculator, it may be easier to break the number into smaller parts.
420 * 6
= (400 * 6) + (20 * 6)
= 2400 + 120
= 2520

Answer:
[three sixths] are the same amount as [one half]
Step-by-step explanation:
Call these units thirds. Split these units in half so there are twice as many. Call these units sixths because six of them make one.
Answer:
the answer for this question is non-linear

Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
