3*5/8=15/8
1 and 7/8
I think it will be because if you multiply 1/2 times 4/5 it will be 0.4
You want to solve this set of linear equations by the elimination method.
Let x=price of bag of flour and y=price of bag of sugar
Multiply the first equation by -3.
-3(7x+5y=584)
Multiply the second equation by 5.
5(5x+3y=384)
Solve by elimination.
X=42
Substitute value of x into one of the original equations.
Y=58
Answer:
a) Junnie walked farther than Maurice
b) Junnie walked .62 miles farther than Maurice
Step-by-step explanation: Because speed times time equals distance, to find how far each person traveled you multiply their speed and time.
Distance=speed×time
Junnie:
2.5hrs×3.2mph=8 miles
Maurice:
1.8hrs×4.1mph=7.38 miles
8-7.38=.62 (the difference between the two)
