Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: First rewrite 10 as 10/1 and 1 and 2/3 as 5/3.

Mixed numbers can be changed to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator. We then put out numerator over our old denominator.

So we have 10/1 ÷ 5/3 or 10/1 × 3/5.

It's important to understand that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

Now multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators, we have 30/5. Notice however that 30/5 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 30 and 5 which is 6 and we end up with 6.

Therefore, 10 ÷ 1 and 2/3 = 6.

Moses is solving the problem below.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

the answer is $8.29

Step-by-step explanation:

1.60 marked up by 60% in decimal form is .60

multiply that .60 by 1.60 and you get .64

you add .64 to 1.60 and you get 2.56

you multiply 2.56 by 3 and you get 7.68

you have a 8% sales tax so you multiply 0.08 by 7.68

you will get .61 you add that to 7.68 to get $8.29

ololo11 [35]
S + a = 722
s = 72 + a

(72 + a) + a = 722
2a + 72 = 722
2a = 722 - 72
2a = 650
a = 650/2
a = 325 <== adults

s = 72 + a
s = 72 + 325
s = 397 <== students
