2 1/2 x 3 = 7 1/2 = 7 4/8
10 11/8
- 7 4/8
3 7/8
A is the correct answer
2(3x+4y) = 2(24)
6x+8y = 48
Add both the equations
6x + 8y = 48
+ x - 8y = -20
—————————
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
Plug in this value in the second equation
(4) - 8y = -20
-8y = -24
y = -24/-8
y = 3
Therefore:
x = 4
y = 3
In order to calculate that, we need to divide it by 1/5 as follows:
60/100 / 1/5
We can re-write it as: 60/100 * 5 = 6/10 * 5 = 30/10 = 3
So, there are "3" 1/5ths in 60/100
Hope this helps!
A = a is an example of Commutative Property.
