Answer:
1+4=5?
Step-by-step explanation:
5..?yeah...um..thx for the free points..^^
Let
x------> amount of pounds of apples
y------> amount of pounds of oranges
z-----> amount of pounds of peaches
we know that
x+y+z=127------> equation 1
x=4z-----> equation 2
y=7+z----> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
x+y+z=127----> (4z)+(7+z)+z=127---> 6z=127-7---> 6z=120----> z=20 lb
x=4z---> x=4*20----> x=80 lb
y=7+z----> y=7+20---> y=27 lb
amount of pounds of apples----> 80 lb
amount of pounds of oranges----> 27 lb
amount of pounds of peaches---> 20 lb
I am not sure, but I think you are talking about the least square method
To begin with, equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole number. So I need to find a fraction, with a denominator of 20, that is the same value as 1/2:
1/2 = ?/20
1*10/2*10 = 10/20
Since the denominator needed to be 20, I multiplied the numerator and the denominator (1/2) by 10 to get 10/20. So, 1/2 and 10/20 are equivalent.
