Simplify

Answer: Y= 1.6
Step-by-step explanation: 1.6 + 0.4 =2
Michelle can fold 4/54 baskets per minute = 8/108 baskets per minute.
Ruby can fold 4/108 baskets per minute.
Each minute Michelle and Ruby work together, they can fold
8/108 +4/108 = 12/108 = 1/9
of a basket of clothes. For 8 baskets of clothes, it will take them
(8 baskets)/(1/9 baskets/minute) = 72 minutes
So what I think you do is that yu have to simplify or divide. Good luck! - from: a 7th grader
X=29 and y=10
You would isolate one of the variables and then plug the expression into the other equation to find the value of one variable. Then you would plug this value into the other equation to determine the value of the remaining variable.
