Convert 17⁄8 to a decimal, rounded to the nearest hundredth. A. 2.13 B. 2.44 C. 1.78 D. 1.14

1 answer:

3 0

Hey there! :)

All you have to do is divide the numerator(top number) by the denominator(bottom number).

17 ÷ 8 = 2.125

Rounded to the nearest hundredth = 2 places after the decimal point.

After the 2 is a 5. If it's 5 or greater, you move it up by 1.

2 + 1 = 3

2.125 = 2.13

Your answer is A ⇒ 2.13

Hope this helps :)

Solve the Equation <br> 2x-3=14<br> -x+3y=-6

andriy [413]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you lost "y" in the first equation.

$\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=14\\-x+3y=-6\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\\\.\qquad x=8\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\2(8)-3y=14\\16-3y=14\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\-3y=-2\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\y=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\boxed{x=8,\ y=\dfrac{2}{3}}$

If first equation is correct.

$2x-3=14\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\2x=17\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x=8.5\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the second equation:}\\-8.5+3y=-6\qquad\text{add 8.5 to both sides}\\3y=2.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\y=\dfrac{2.5}{3}\\y=\dfrac{25}{30}\\y=\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\boxed{x=8.5,\ y=\dfrac{5}{6}}$
