We can express Benjamin's age with x, we can express Luca's age as y.
x-6=2y
So, if x=12
2y=6
y=3
Therfore, Lucas is 3 years old
1) Divide 3/4 by 1/2. Remember how to divide fractions. Switch the problem into a multiplication problem.
<span>3/4 x 2/1 = 3/2 (so you could only have 1 and 1/2 servings with 1/2 pound of chicken in each serving. </span>
<span>2) Set up a little algebra problem. Let x = the multiplier of the original 3/4 pounds of chicken needed to make two full servings with 1/2 pound of chicken in each. </span>
<span>(3/4)x = 2(1/2) (Found this online V(0-0)v)</span>
Answer:
1988920000000000
Step-by-step explanation:
1.98892 x 1000000000000000 (15 zeros)
The upper number (in this case 15) indicates the amount of zeros after the 1 (10 is 10^1, 100 is 10^2)
Answer:
- 2 1/4 pounds of blueberries
Step-by-step explanation:
Blueberries - b, raspberries - x
<u>Equations as per question:</u>
<u>Eliminate b and solve for x:</u>
- 1/5x = x - 1 4/5
- x - 1/5x = 1 4/5
- 4/5x = 9/5
- x = 9/5 : 4/5
- x = 9/5 *5/4
- x = 9/4
- x = 2 1/4
This means that you have to move the decimal point 4 decimal places to the left, as denoted by the negative sign. Thus, this would add 3 zeros before 5. The answer would be 0.00059.
I hope the explanation was clear to you. Have a good day.
