Math question on big ideas math the 1/3 confuses me I hate fractions

1 answer:

6 0

a simple way to do away with denominators, is we can simply multiply both sides by the LCD, in this case the LCD is 3, so let's multiply both sides by 3.

$\bf 3\left( \cfrac{1}{3}x+y \right)=3(4)\implies x+3y=12\implies 3y=12-x
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{12-x}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing the denominator}}{y=\cfrac{12}{3}-\cfrac{x}{3}}\implies y=4-\cfrac{1}{3}x$

Answer:

575% as a mixed number is $5\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

575% is equivalent to $\frac{575}{100}$ which is equal to 5.75

5.75 = 5 + 0.75

0.75 can be written as $\frac{75}{100}$ . This value can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25. This would give us $\frac{3}{4}$
