Answer:
0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
(5 + 4) / ( 8 + 4) = 9/12 = 3/4
3/4 - 5/8 = 6/8 - 5/8 = 1/8 <== this much the fraction has changed.

======================================
Explanation:
7+6 = 13. Divide this over 5 to get 13/5 = 2 remainder 3. The quotient 2 is something we don't care about. <u>We only worry about the remainder</u>. Therefore 7+6 = 3 (mod 5)
-------------
2+1 = 3 (mod 5) for similar reasoning as above. 3/5 = 0 remainder 3.
-------------
20 = 9 (mod 11) since 20/11 = 1 remainder 9. Imagine you had 20 cookies and 11 friends. Each friend would get 1 whole cookie (quotient) and there could be 9 left over (remainder).
-------------
35/11 = 3 remainder 2
Or you could use repeated subtraction like so to find the remainder
35-11 = 24
24-11 = 13
13-11 = 2
The last result (2) is smaller than 11, so we stop here and this is the remainder.
Therefore, 35 = 2 (mod 11)
--------------
Here's another way to think of it. Consider you have $35 in your pocket. Let's say a store is selling trinkets for $11 each. We can pose these key questions:
- What is the most number of trinkets you can buy?
- If you buy that max amount, how much will you have left over?
The answer to the first question is 3 trinkets because 3*11 = 33 dollars is under the budget of $35. The amount left over is 35-33 = 2 dollars which is the remainder. It's not larger than 11, so we cannot buy any more trinkets at this point.
It would take them 8.5 hours.
Explanation:
Since they are painting the room together, they would basically each paint half of the room. So if they were painting half of the room each, it would take them half of the time that it would
normally take each of them. Half of Sally's time is 3.5 hours. And half of John's time is 5 hours. When you add them together, you get 8.5 hours.
Hope this helps!
A=number of seats in section A
B=number of seats in section B
C=number of seats in section C
We can suggest this system of equations:
A+B+C=55,000
A=B+C ⇒A-B-C=0
28A+16B+12C=1,158,000
We solve this system of equations by Gauss Method.
1 1 1 55,000
1 -1 -1 0
28 16 12 1,158,000
1 1 1 55,000
0 -2 -2 -55,000 (R₂-R₁)
0 12 16 382,000 (28R₁-R₂)
1 1 1 55,000
0 -2 -2 -55,000
0 0 4 52,000 (6R₂+R₃)
Therefore:
4C=52,000
C=52,000/4
C=13,000
-2B-2(13,000)=-55,000
-2B-26,000=-55,000
-2B=-55,000+26,000
-2B=-29,000
B=-29,000 / -2
B=14,500.
A + 14,500+13,000=55,000
A+27,500=55,000
A=55,000-27,500
A=27,500.
Answer: there are 27,500 seats in section A, 14,500 seats in section B and 13,000 seats in section C.
