Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert this statement into a system of two equations
3 * (cost of a liter of milk) + 5 * (cost of a loaf of bread) = $11
4 * (cost of a liter of milk) + 5 * (cost of a loaf of bread) = $10
cost of a liter of milk = x
cost of a loaf of bread = y
3x + 5y = 11
4x + 4y = 10
You can now solve this using either substitution or elimination
I'll use elimination. Let's say I want to get rid of the x first. I need to choose numbers to multiply by the top and bottom equations to eliminat the x's. The easiest way to do this is to multiply them by each other. So we'll multiply the top by 4 and the bottom by 3. We'll need to make sure the signs are opposite as well so I'll make that a negative 3 on the bottom.
4 * (3x + 5y = 11)
-3 * (4x + 4y = 10)
12x + 20y = 44
-12x - 12y = -30
Now add straight down
0x + 8y = 14
8y = 14
y = 14/8 = $1.75
Now we can plug this back in to either equation to find the x. I'll choose the second equation
4x + 4*(1.75) = 10
4x + 7 = 10
4x = 3
x = 3/4 = $0.75
So, cost of a liter of milk = x = $0.75
and cost of a loaf of bread = y = $1.75
16 I believe not 100% sure though

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3:2 = 2.5:1.5
half of 2 is 1 so if you had 1.5 it would only be half. For a better explanation, 1 minute is 60 seconds half of a minute is 30 seconds. if you have 45 seconds it would be 3/4 of a second. this is hard for me to explain so if you need more examples just tell me in the comments.
i hope this helps
have a nice day/night

Answer:
- 3rs
Step-by-step explanation:
6rs — 7bc (-) 9rs — 7bc = 6rs - 7bc - 9rs - 7bc
=6rs - 9rs - 7bc - 7bc (collecting the like terms)
= - 3rs
