First, get common denominators
At the same time, turn these into mixed numbers
27/8 + x = 44/8
Subtract 27/8 from both sides
x = 2 1/8 pounds
Let’s x be how many more pounds the baby needs
So r+c=42
c=4+r
subsitute c=4+r for r in r+c=42
r+4+r=42
add like terms
2r+4=42
subtract 4 from both sides
2r=38
divide both sides by 2
r=19
rob=19
subsitute r=19 for r in c=4+r
c=19+4
carly=23
2 is the correct answer I believe
we can convert any decimal to a fraction, by simply <u>using as many zeros at the bottom as there are decimals, and losing the dot atop</u>, now let's do so, notice we have 3 decimals, so we'll use 3 zeros.
