Answer:

Potato price = $1.5 / pound ; Carrot price = $1.75 / pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of carrot per pound = c

Let price of potatoes per pound = p

Given :

2c + 3p  = 8   (eqtn A)

4c + 4p = 13 (eqtn B)

Multiplying eqtn A by 2 ;

4c + 6p = 16

4c = 16 - 6p (eqtn Y)

By eqtn B ;

4c = 13 - 4p (eqtn Z)

By eqtn Y & Z ;

16 - 6p = 13 - 4p

16 - 13 = - 4p + 6p

3 = 2p

p = 3 /2

p = 1.5 [Potato price]

Putting p value in eqtn A

2c + 3 (1.5) = 8

2c + 4.5 = 8

2c = 8 - 4.5

2c = 3.5

c = 3.5 / 2

c = 1.75 [Carrot Price]

Can a triangle be formed with the sides lengths of 7 cm, 5 cm and 12 cm?
laiz [17]

Answer:

NO because 7+5=12

The sum must be larger (not equal to) the longest side. If it's exactly the same, there's no room to for the shorter two sides to angle up to form a triangle.

Convert the decimal to a fraction in simplest form:
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Decimal 0.333 to a fraction in simplest form is:   \frac{333}{1000}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the decimal

0.333

Multiply and divide by 10 for every number after the decimal point.

There are three digits to the right of the decimal point, therefore multiply and divide by 1000.

Thus,

0.333=\frac{0.333\cdot \:\:1000}{1000}

         =\frac{333}{1000}         ∵ 0.333×1000 = 333

Let us check if we can reduce the fraction \frac{333}{1000}

For this, we need to find a common factor of 333 and 1000 in order to cancel it out.

But, first, we need to find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 333, 1000

<u>Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) : </u>

The GCD of a, b is the largest positive number that divides both a and b without a remainder.

Prime Factorization of 333:      3 · 3 · 37

Prime Factorization of 1000:      2 · 2 · 2 · 5 · 5 · 5

As there is no common factor for 333 and 1000, therefore, the GCD is 1.

Important Tip:

  • As GCD is 1, therefore the fraction can not be simplified.

Therefore, decimal 0.333 to a fraction in simplest form is:   \frac{333}{1000}
