Answer:
1) 04.4750
Step-by-step explanation:
The most obvious reason would be that if you put in 3.58 x 1.25 into a calculator the answer u get is 4.4750.
If you want a more technical explanation though, you can say that the combined number of decimal places in the multiplicand and the multiplier is 4, so the product will also have 4 decimal places.
3.58 = two decimal places
1.24 = 2 decimal places
in total, they have 4 decimal places. for the product to have 4 decimal places too you'd count from right to left 4 places, and that's where you'd put the decimal. Hope this helps!
Answer:
7 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Variables:
x = smaller number
y = larger number
We can set up two equations with the information given:
5x + 3y = 62
and
y = x + 2
We get the second equation with the information that the two numbers are consecutive and both odd. therefore the smaller number is two less than the larger number, and the larger number is two greater than the smaller number.
Next, we need to replace our y in the first equation with the y in the second:
5x + 3y = 62
5x + 3 (x+2) = 62
5x + 3x + 6 = 62
8x = 56
x (smaller number) = 7
Finally, we solve for the larger number by placing it back into the second equation:
y = x + 2
y = 7 + 2
y (larger number) = 9
I hope this helps!
