Answer:
- waffle $8
- hashbrowns $1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Using w and h for the costs of a waffle and hashbrowns, respectively, we can write the equations for the purchase amounts as ...
w + h = 9.50
2w + 3h = 20.50
Subtracting twice the first equation from the second gives ...
(2w +3h) -2(w +h) = (20.50) -2(9.50)
h = 1.50 . . . . . . simplify
w = 9.50 -h = 8.00 . . . . . find w using the first equation
The cost of a waffle is $8.00; the cost of hashbrowns is $1.50.
Answer:
Answer 1. 5 Answer 2. 60 Answer 3. 37
Step-by-step explanation:
You start with: (assuming x equals the cost to enter and y the cost of going on the rollercoasters.)
x+5y=35
x+11y=59. Multiply the top equation by -1, and subtract the equations, giving you -6y=-24, divide by -6 into both sides of the equation, to get y=4. Now replace y in one of the original equations (I recommend x+5y=35) and solve for x, giving you x=15
The cost for entering is 15 dollars, while each coaster is 4 dollars more. You could simplify this by changing y into x and making it slope-intercept form, to track your cost. y=4x+15, so it has a slope of 4, and a y-intercept of 15. This answer should give you a good grade on a test.
Answer:
35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number
Step-by-step explanation:
First, change 58 1/3 into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number and denominator, then adding the numerator. 58 x 3 equals 174, + 1 equals 175. So, 58 1/3 as an improper fraction is 175/3. Next, change 6 2/3 into an improper fraction. 6 times 3 equals 18, plus 2 equals 20. So, it's 20/3. So, here are your two fractions:
175/3 & 20/3
To divide fractions, I like to use a method called Keep Change Flip. Basically, you keep the first fractions the same, then change the sign. The division sign changes into a multiplication symbol. Now, your equation should look like this: 175/3 x 20/3. Next, flip the fraction from 20/3 into 3/20. This is what your equation should look like now: 175/3 x 3/20. Now you can multiply the fractions together. Before you do so, you can cross reduce to make it easier. What is a number that both 3 and 3 can be divided by? The correct answer is 3. 3/3= 1, so the equation is now 175/1 x 1/20. However, you can continue to cross reduce. You can also divide 175 and 20 by 5, so the equation changes into this: 35/1 x 1/20. Multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. So, the answer is 35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number. Hope this helped!
