-64 1/3
disregard the negative sign for the moment...
to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, take ur whole number (63) and multiply it by ur denominator (3) and u get (64 * 3) = 192....now add that to ur numerator (1) and u get (192 + 1) = 193...now put that over ur original denominator (3) and u get 193/3.....now put ur negative sign back....and u have - 193/3.....simplified form, does not reduce
Hey there!!
Given :
The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.
The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.
<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>
Now, let's get these into an equation.
<em>Peter's equation</em> :
... 2p + 5s = 61
<em>Jessica's equation : </em>
...3p + 4s = 67
......................................................................................................
2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)
3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)
Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.
6p + 15s = 183
6p + 8s = 134
S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>
... 7s = 49
Divide both sides with 7.
... s = 7
<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>
