Let
x---------> the larger number
y---------> the smaller number
we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5
the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5
36 * 7 gives you the number of nails in the whole pounds
36 * 2/3 gives you the fraction part
7 * 36 = 252
2/3 * 36 = 24
Total nails = 252 + 24 = 276 nails

Answer:
D. 0.64
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason I got this answer is because the problem tells us that there is a success rate of .36, so you would subtract .36 from 1 to get .64. The success rate and failure rate should always be equal to 1.
