Let’s call the numbers x and y. Let’s also say that x is the smaller of the two. Since their difference (the answer you get when you subtract is 44 and a half) we know that y-x=44.5
Next we are told that if the smaller increases 7 times (that means 7x) their difference would be 10 3/14. Let’s write that as a fraction. It is 14x10+3 over 14. That is 143/14.
So this means y-7x=143/14.
We have two equations and two unknowns (a system of equations). We write one over the other and subtract them to get:
y-x=44.5
y-7x=143/14
Subtracting yields:
(y-y)+(-x - - 7x) = 44.5 - 143/14
6x = (89/2) - (143/14)
6x= 623/14 - 143/14
6x=480/14
X= (480/14)(1/6)
X=80/14
x= 40/7 = 5 5/7
Since y-x=89/2
We get y - 40/7 = 89/2
Y = 40/7 + 89/2
Y = 80/14 + 623/14
Y = 703/14 = 50 3/14
Answer:
<em>.125 or 1/8</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is looking for the difference divided by the long ride. The long ride is 6 1/4 miles, so now we need to find the difference.
In order to do this, we take the larger distance and subtract the smaller distance.
We would take (Tip: Use decimals when you can. They are easier to work with ) 6.25 - 5.5 and we get .75 or 3/4 of a mile.
Now, we put .75 over 6.25 and simplify.
.125 or 1/8
1500 pounds. 1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds. Divide 2000 by 4 and get 500 multiply by 3 to create 3/4 of a ton and get 1500. 1500 pounds
If they have 11 boxes and 88 shorts there will be 8 shorts in each box
