Answer:
41
Step-by-step explanation:
If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:
5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]
To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:
5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9
Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.
Answer:
15/2 or 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute 5/6 to each number
change the fraction 10/3 so that it will have the same denominator as 5/12
= 40/12
divide both sides by 5/6
<h2><em>If you put and label the three points in a line, you will see that RS + ST = RT.
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>Then you only need to substitue with the expressions given for RS and ST to find RT.
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>RT = x +1 + 2x - 2 = 3x - 1
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>Also, RT = 5x - 5
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>Then, 3x - 1 = 5x - 5
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>5x - 3x = 5 - 1
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>2x = 4
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><em>x = 4/2 = 2
</em></h2><h2><em>
</em></h2><h2><u><em>X=2</em></u></h2>
