Answer: 2 2/5 is 4/5 of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can view that as what do we multiply 3 by to get 2 2/5 and call that value x
3x = 2 2/5
x = (2 2/5)/3
Let's turn 2 2/5 into an improper fraction... 2 2/5 = 12/5
So we have
x = (12/5)/3 = (12/5)(1/3) = 4/5
Thus 2 2/5 is 4/5 of 3
Verify: 3(4/5) = 12/5 = 2 2/5
Answer:
4 horses and 8 ducks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of ducks be d and the number of horses be h.
d + h = 12
Now ducks have 2 feet and horses have 4 so:
2d + 4h = 32
Multiply the first equation by 2
2d + 2h = 24
Subtract this equation from the second equation:
4h - 2h = 32 - 24
2h = 8
h = 4.
So there were 4 horses and 12 - 4 = 8 ducks.
