Answer:

x - y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 5/3 => x = 5y/3

x + y = 56

5y/3 + ³⁾y = ³⁾56

5y + 3y = 3×56

6y = 168

y = 168 : 8

y = 21

x = 5×21/3 = 105/3 = 35

x - y = 35 - 21 = 14

Answer:14

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=56

x:y=5:3

Sum of ratio=5+3

Sum of ratio=8

x=5/8x56

x=(5x56) ➗ 8

x=280 ➗ 8

x=35

y=3/8x56

y=(3x56) ➗ 8

y=168 ➗ 8

y=21

x-y

35-21=14

x-y=14

  • you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.
  • Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
<h3>How many buses would it take to carry only the boys?</h3>

We know that there are (3 + 1/2) groups, such that each group fill one bus.

2/5 of the students are boys, then the number of groups that we can make only with boys is:

(2/5)*(3 + 1/2) = 6/5 + 1/5 = 7/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 1 + 2/5

Then you can make one and a little less than a half of a group, which means that you need 1 and 2/5 of a buss to transport the boys, rounding that to the a whole number, you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.

<h3>How far is Mark from his house?</h3>

The original distance is:

D = (2 + 3/4) miles.

But Mark only covers 2/3 of that distance, then we have:

d = (2/3)*D = (2/3)*(2 + 3/4) miles = (4/3 + 2/4) miles

d = (4/3 + 1/2) miles = (8/6 + 3/6) miles = (1 + 5/6) miles

Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
