First, we want to find the GCF of 15 and 21, which is 3. Now we do 15 divided by 3 and 21 divided by 3, which gives us 5 and 7. To rewrite the expression, we take the GCF and put it on the outside of the parenthesis. Inside the parenthesis, we put 5 + 7. So it'll look like this:
3(5 + 7)
7/8 = 21/24
5/12 = 10/24
21/24-10/24 = 11/24
Answer:
Sophie has 12.5 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of cards Sophie has
y -----> number of cards Jackie has
we know that
x+y=30 -----> equation A
y=x+5 -----> equation B
Solve by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(x+5)=30
2x=30-5
x=12.5 cards
Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
"of" means "times"
⅔ of 24 = ⅔ × 24 = 48/3 = 16
PEMDAS
5X10 = 50
102-50= 52
Answer = 52
