Answer:
<u>Answer (a):</u>
s + l = 22 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
<u>Answer (b)</u>
9 large dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Paws at Play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs.
Paws at Play charges $43 to groom each small dog and;
$75 for each large dog.
Let the number of small dogs be 's'
And the number of large dogs be 'l'
<u>A system of equations will be:</u>
s + l = 22 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
Solving this set of simultaneous equations by elimination, we simply multiply (i) by 43 to get;
43s + 43l = 946 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get;
32l = 288 , l = = 9
So there are 9 large dogs.
The given number sentence is simplified as 1 3/5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given number sentence is 2-4/5 x 1/2
- In order to solve this, the operations must be performed based on the BODMAS rule.
- This means that, the operations should be performed in the order of Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.
Here, based on that above rule, the multiplication must be done in the first step and then subtraction should be done in the next step.
⇒ 2 - 4/5 × 1/2
⇒ 2 - 4/10
⇒ 2 - 2/5
Therefore, the given expression is reduced to 2- 2/5
cross multiply the denominator 5
⇒ (10-2) / 5
⇒ 8/5
Now, the expression is reduced to single term 8/5.
To further reduce the term, divide 8 by 5.
- The quotient is 1.
- The remainder is 3.
- The divisor is 5.
The answer is written in the form of
⇒ 1 3/5
