Nothing multiplies into 12 and adds into 17. Factors of 12 are 1,2,3,4,6, and 12. None of those add up to 17.
For a, we have 42in/9ft. Since 12 inches are in 1 foot, we can multiply it by that to get (42in/9ft)*(1ft/12inches) = 42/108. We put the foot on the top of 1ft/12in to cancel them out. Since 2 goes into both 42 and 108, we divide it by 2/2 to get 26/54. Repeating the process again, we get 13/27
If we were to say that there are 12 inches in a foot and therefore divide 42 by 12 (to get 42 inches in feet), we'd get the same answer due to that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches and if you were to divide it by 1 foot/12 inches, since they are the same thing, you get the same answer
For c, since it may be hard to get (42/12)/9, it could just be easier to have 42/(9*12)=42/108
5x + 4y = 32 ⇒ 45x + 36y = 288
9x - 1y = 33 ⇒ <u>45x - 5y = 165</u>
<u>41y</u> = <u>123</u>
41 41
y = 3
5x + 4(3) = 32
5x + 12 = 32
<u> - 12 - 12</u>
<u>5x</u> = <u>20</u>
5 5
x = 4
(x, y) = (4, 3)
-13 -23 because divide by two then add five and subtract 5
Answer:
17 tenths - 8 tenths=9 tenths
Step-by-step explanation:
1.7 tenths is 17 tenths, we can see that by multiplying 1.7x10 to get 17
dot he sam with 0.8 to get 8 tenths
ti find the answer, subtract the units. 17-8=9
