Answer:
smaller number = 3 5/24
larger number = 6 13/24
Step-by-step explanation:
let the larger number = x
smaller number = y
x - y = 3 1/3 equation 1
2(x +y) = 191/2 equation 2
divide equation 2 through by 2
x + y = 9 3/4 equation 3
subtract equation 1 from 3
2y = 6 5/12
y = 77/12 x 1/2 = 3 5/24
substitute for y in equation 1
x - 3 5/24 = 31/3
x = 3 1/3 + 3 5/24
x = 6 13/24
3.2 is the Length of y 7.5 is the length of z and the length of x is 12.5
Answer: c = -5, -8
Step-by-step explanation:
c^2 +13c+40=0
(c+5)(c+8)=40
c = -5, -8
Answer:
The answer to your question is $1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total amount of cupcakes = 50
Total amount of sugar = 3 1/2 cups = 3.5 cups
Cost of 5-pound bag = $3.69
2 cups = 1 pound
Total cost = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the amount of pounds needed
2 cups ------------------ 1 pound
3.5 cups --------------- x
x = (3.5 x 1) / 2
x = 3.5 / 2
x = 1.75 pounds
2.- Calculate the price of 1.75 pounds
5 pounds -------------- $3.69
1.75 pounds ---------- x
x = (1.75 x 3.69)/5
x = 6.46/5
x = $1.29
3.- Conclusion
The cost of sugar to prepare 50 cupcakes is $1.29
