(2/3)(1/4)=
2/12=
1/6
multiply the numerators by the numerators, (top numbers)
and the denominators by the denominators, (bottom numbers)
X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.
Well I think it's 10 hours and 20 minutes you just have to count the hours but subtract one hour because of lunch then add the remaining minutes.
