0.2 is the same as 2/10
18/(2/10)
As you may have learned in school, when you divide a fraction, you flip the fraction in the denominator, and change it to multiplication
18/(2/10) becomes 18 x (10/2)
multiply normally
18 x 10 = 180
divide to find answer
180/2 = 90
90 is your answer
hope this helps
Remember, when you meet this problem, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into multiplication. (always second, never first (if first is a fraction)).
Y = ax + b;
0.89 = a * 2 + b and 2.09 = a * 5 + b =>
=> 2.09 - 0.89 = a * 5 + a * 2 + b - b => 1.20 = 3 * a => a = 1.20 / 3 => a = 0.40;
b = 0.89 - 0.40 * 2 => b = 0.89 - 0.80 => b = 0.09;
y = 0.40x + 0.09 => 0.40x - y + 0.09 = 0 is the linear equation.
In words:
Three sandwiches, each costing $5.25, equals 1/3 of Cassie's total money
We can write the formula:
(5.25*3)=1/3x
Now solve:
15.75=1/3x
3(15.75)=x
x=$47.25
