Answer:

option B

x+y=72

x-y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of apples

y ---> number of oranges

we know that

Each crate contains a total of 72 pieces of fruit

so

x+y=72 ----> equation A

A crate has 8 more apples than oranges

so

x=y+8

x-y=8 ----> equation B

therefore

Option B

What is the missing numerator of 4/9= ?/81
yKpoI14uk [10]
To solve this question, first cross multiply
Let ? = x

4/9 = x/81

4(81) = 9(x)

Simplify.

81 x 4 = 324

324 = 9x

Isolate the x, divide 9 from both sides

324/9 = 9x/9

x = 324/9

x = 36


4/9 = 36/81

36 is your answer

hope this helps!
