Find two numbers whose sum is 20 and difference is 1

1 answer:

6 0

Divide 20 by 2
20/2 = 10
Add and subtract 0.5* from 10
10 + 0.5 = 10.5
10 - 0.5 = 9.5
Those two numbers are your answer.

*The reason why we used 0.5 because the difference is 1, so divide 1 by 2.

Have an awesome day! :)

Candice spent 5 1/4 hours doing her homework. Her brother, Ronald, spent 1/2 that number of hours doing his homework. How many h

Elden [556K]

Let

x-----> the number of hours that Candice spent doing her homework

y-----> the number of hours that Ronald spent doing his homework

we know that

$x=5\frac{1}{4}\ hours$

convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$5\frac{1}{4}\ hours=\frac{5*4+1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}\ hours$

$x=\frac{21}{4}\ hours$ -------> equation A

$y=\frac{1}{2}x$ ------> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

$y=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{21}{4}=\frac{21}{8}\ hours$

convert an improper fraction to a mixed number

$\frac{21}{8}\ hours=2.625=2+0.625=2+\frac{5}{8}=2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

$2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The way a proportion is set is as follows;

$\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}$

The Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica is then found as 800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the distance between Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 4 inches

The map scale = 1 inch to 200 miles

To figure out how many miles it is or the actual distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica, we have;

$\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}$

Therefore, we have;

(4 inches × 200 miles)/(1 inche) = Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica

Which gives;

Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 800 miles.
