To show that they used the same amount of ribbon you could take the 1 yard and divided into different sized equal groups.
1 yard divided by four equals 1/4 yard for each of four ribbons.
1 yard divided by six equals 1/6 yard for each of six ribbons.
You could have ribbons the size of 1/4 our yard and 1/6 yard, but you would have different amounts of each.
Answer:
f = -5, s = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
F= first number
S= second number
4f - s = -14
f + 3s = -23
3(4f - s = -14)
12f - 3s = -42
+ f + 3s = -23
13f = -65
————
13
f = -5
4f - s = -14
4(-5) - s = -14
-20 - s = -14
+20 +20
-s = 6
———
-1
s = -6
Answer:
95 city and 175 highway miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The driver gets 20 mpg in city, and 28 mpg on the highway.
An equation that could be written is
20x+28y=270
This equation accounts for the distance traveled.
x+y=11
This equotion accounts for how many gallons were driven.
Multiply the bottom equation by 20, so you can solve the set of equations.
20x+28y=270
20x+20y=220
subtract them
8y=50
y=6.25
now plug this back into x+y=11
x+6.25=11
x=4.75
Now 4.75×20=95 city miles and 6.25×28=175 highway miles.
No they are not equivalent and if you are trying to get a mixed number try dividing
Answer:
5,333 square yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Football fields have standard 100 yards length, if you walk the perimeter of a football field you will walk the twice the length and twice the width. Therefore, the width of the field can be found as follows:
The area of the playing field is the product of the length by the width
The area of the playing field is 5,333 square yards.
