Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
9/10 and 2/3 can cross cancel
3 goes into 9, 3 times
2 goes into 10, 5 times
they both go into themselves once
our new fractions are 3/5 and 1/1 which equals 3/5
Answer:
x = 1 and y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let apples are represented by x
and let oranges are represented by y
You purchase 5 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of oranges for $9. This line in equation format can be written as:
5x + 2y = 9
Your friend purchases 5 pounds of apples and 6 pounds of oranges for $17.
This line in equation format can be written as:
5x + 6y = 17
Now we have two equations:
5x + 2y = 9 -> eq (i)
5x + 6y = 17 -> eq(ii)
We can solve these equations to find the value of x and y.
Subtracting eq(i) from eq(ii)
5x + 6y = 17
5x + 2y = 9
- - -
_________
0+4y= 8
=> 4y = 8
y= 8/4
y = 2
Now, putting value of y in eq (i)
5x + 2y = 9
5x +2(2) = 9
5x +4 = 9
5x = 9-4
5x = 5
x = 1
so, x = 1 and y = 2
Answer: 360,000
Reason:
Think of 360 as 360.0
We move the decimal point 3 spots to the right to get to 360,000.0 or simply 360,000; this movement of 3 to the right is directly because of the exponent over the 10.
The 10^3 represents "thousand", so "360 x 10^3" is "360 thousand" = 360,000.
5 because 5*5 equals 25 and 25-25 equals 0.
