Answer:
3 and 1/2 minus 2/3 minus 1/3 =
7/2 minus 2/3 minus 1/3 =
21/6 minus 4/6 minus 2/6 =
17/6 - 2/6 =
15/6 = 5/2 = 2 and 1/2
Optionally, you can think of it this way:
He used 2/3 yards for the pillow and 1/3 yard for the scarf.
So he used 1 yard
3 and 1/2 minus 1 = 2 and 1/2 = 5/2

You have to ask yourself how would you read that decimal? It is 162 ten-thousandths because the last digit, which is 2 is in the ten-thousandths place. So the fraction would be 162/10000
Answer:
x = 9
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Let :
Kenyan French roast coffee = x
Cost per x = $8
Sumatran Coffee = y
Cost per y = $10
x + y = 18 - - - - (1)
8x + 10y = 9 * 18 ;
8x + 10y = 162 - - - - (2)
From (1):
x = 18 - y
Put x = 18 - y in (2)
8(18 - y) + 10y = 162
144 - 8y + 10y = 162
2y = 162 - 144
2y = 18
y = 9
x = 18 - y
x = 18 - 9
x = 9
