Ratio and proportion
convert to inproper fracton first
1 and 1/2=1+1/2=2/2+1/2=3/2
3 and 1/2=3+1/2=6/2+1/2=7/2
3/2dozen=7/2cups
times 2 both sides
3dozen=7cups
divide by 3 both sides
1dozen=7/3cups=2 and 1/3 cup
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: I hope you understand this better
The numbers are "x" and "y";
Therefore, we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=24 ⇒x=24-y
x/y=5
solve this problem by substitution method.
(24-y)/y=5
24-y=5y
-y-5y=-24
-6y=-24
y=-24/-6=4
x=24-y
x=24-4
x=20
Answer: the numer are: 20 and 4
