Why is 5x4 greater than 5x1/4

2 answers:

8 0

Anytime you multiply a whole number by a fraction or decimal, you have to make the fraction and decimal increase its value. So 1/4 can be translated into .25 and 5 x .25 is 1.25. 5 x 4 is 20. Since 5 and 4 are both whole numbers, the answer is increased by both.

5x4 = 20
5x1/4 = 5/4 or = 1.25

so 20 > 1.25 then 5x4 is greater than 5x1/4

X + y = 152, 8.5x + 12y = 1,656 How many hats were sold?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

x = 48 and y = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$x+y = 152\\8.5x+12y=1656$

From equation 1:

$x = 152-y$

Putting the value of y in equation 2

$8.5(152-y)+12y = 1656\\1292-8.5y+12y = 1656\\3.5y+1292 = 1656\\3.5y = 1656-1292\\3.5y = 364\\\frac{3.5y}{3.5} = \frac{364}{3.5}\\y = 104$

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x

Putting y = 104 in the first equation

$x+y = 152\\x+ 104 = 152\\x = 152-104\\x = 48$

Hence,

The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104

The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.
