---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be one number.
One number = x
Other number = 5x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x - x  = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4x = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 4 on both sides:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One number = x = 20
Other number = 5x = 5(20) = 100

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers in increasing order are 20 and 100.

Un jardinier a récolté deux quintaux trois quarts de pommes . Il vend un quintal un quart à un voisin ; il vend aussi 7/10 de qu
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notez que: un quintal =

une unité de poids égale à 100 kg

Un jardinier a récolté deux quintaux et trois quarts de pommes.

Le nombre total de pommes récoltées = 200 kg + 3/4 du quintal de pommes

= 200 kg + 0,381 kg

= 200,381 kg

Il vend un quintal un quart à un voisin

Le montant qu'il a vendu à un voisin = 100 + 1/4 quintal de pommes

100 + 0,127

= 100,127 kg

Il vend également 7/10 d'un quintal sur le marché du village

= 7/10 × 100 kg

= 70 kg de pommes restantes

2/5 d'un quintal à un pâtissier.

2/5 × 100 kg

= 40 kg de pommes restantes

À l'aide d'une fraction, exprimez la quantité de pomme que le jardinier a gardée pour lui.

La quantité que le jardinier lui a réservée =

200 3/4 kg - (100 1/4 kg + 70 kg + 40 kg)

200,381 kg - (210,127 kg)

6/7 of 1 3/4......turn the mixed number to an improper fraction...and " of " means multiply
6/7 * 7/4 = 42/28 = 1 1/2...so a compact car weighs 1 1/2 tons or 1.5 tons
