I believe Jiro is correct because if you want to count change or money in a problem you would need to end the two digits in the hundredths place. If I want to divide 321÷7 to give someone their change, I would round to the nearest hundredth place because that the most of change that could be available in cents.
321÷7=45.857142857 rounded into $45.85
I'm trying to give as must change as there is possible that was created in money which is the hundredth place that represent cents.

not sure if this makes sense but I tried.

Alejandro is correct because you do not need to add another number to 76.518, as Jiro did, but you need to round it to the nearest tenth.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

The denominator of a rational numbers is twice it’s numerator if the numerator is decreased by 3 and the denominator increased b

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{29}{58}$

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the numerator of the rational number then 2x is the denominator

original fraction = $\frac{x}{2x}$

subtracting 3 from numerator and adding 7 to denominator , gives

$\frac{x-3}{2x+7}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(x - 3) = 2(2x + 7) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

5x - 15 = 4x + 14 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x - 15 = 14 ( add 15 to both sides )

x = 29

rational number = $\frac{29}{58}$

X + 14 = 56 What would I do to both sides to answer this equation? O Multiply both sides by 14 © Subtract both sides by 14 Subtr

Lorico [155]

To solve for X in this equation, you would subtract both sides by 14 because our goal is to get X on its own. If we write it out, we see that

X + 14 - 14 = 56 - 14

X=42

Because we have a positive 14, a negative 14 will average out to be 0, but what you do to one side, you must do to the other.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
