If you had the number 4 1/4 you would divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (4) and then take the decimal number (0.25) you get and add the decimal to the whole number on your mixed number (4+0.25) and that would give you the decimal.
Answer:B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Bag 1: 20
Bag 2: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2
Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:
Bag 1: 50-3x
Bag 2: 50-x
Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:
50-3x = 1/2(50-x)
-> 50-3x = 25-x/2
Now lets isolate x and solve:
25 = 5x/2
-> 50 = 5x
-> x = 10
So plug x bag in for the original equations:
Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20
Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40
This would be 3x + y = 0.
I hope this helps!
