Answer:
Divide the numerator and denominator
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate is a ratio between two different units with a denominator of 1. To calculate the unit rate, divide the numerator by the denominator. The resulting decimal number is the unit rate. The unit price is a type of ratio where the numerator is the price and the denominator is the quantity of a good or product.
You have the equations set up correctly. I will use r and b as the variables to make it easier to follow.
12r + 8b = 70
20r + 12b = 110
First let's solve one of the equations for one of the variables.
12r = 70 - 8b

Now plug that in for r in the second equation.

Simplify



b = 5 grams
Now plug 5 in for b in one of the original equations to find r.
12r + 8(5) = 70
12r = 30
r = 2.5 grams
So the red marbles weigh 2.5 grams, and the blue marbles weigh 5 grams.
Answer:
- 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
turn it into an improper fraction.
1 and 2/3 = 5/3
2 and 1/2 = 5/2
5/3 - 5/2 = 10/6 - 15/6
= -5/6
Answer:
160 tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's make an equation.
Each tile costs $4, let's make <em>t=number of tiles.</em>
+$15.82, and the total cost being $655.82
So ideally our equation would look like
<em>4t+15.82=655.82</em>
<em />
Now solve.
First, subtract <em>15.82 </em>on both sides.
<em>4t=640</em>
Second, divide <em>4 </em>on both sides to make the variable <em>t </em>by itself.
<em>t=160</em>
<em />
So, the contractor purchased 160 tiles.
