8.5
-
1.00 + 2.50 + 2.50 + 2.50 = 8.5
Since 3/5 of the students wore blue shirts and 1/4 of the students wore white shirts, you need to find the Total of 3/5 and 1/4.
First, step find a common denominator for both fractions
EXAMPLE: 3/5+1/4=Total 3/5 becomes 12/20 and 1/4 becomes 5/20.
Second, notice that both fractions now have the same denominator, now you can find the sum of both fractions which is 17/20
Finally, you need to check if the fraction can be SIMPLIFIED if not then the fraction is already im simplest form.
THE ANSWER: 17/20 of students wore either a blue or white shirt on Friday
Y=-x+2
2y=x-8
these two lines both go through the point (4,-2)
solve: substitute the y in the second equation with (-x+2):
2(-x+2)=x-8
-2x+4=x-8
add 2x on both sides:
4=3x-8
add 8 on both sides: 12=3x
divide by 3 on both sides: x=4.
find y: y=-x+2=-4+2=-2
the solution is (4,-2)
Answer:80
Step-by-step explanation:if you multiply a times 20 to get 5, you have to multiply b times 20 to get 80
