Answer:

Yes unless the fraction is equal to a whole number or is an improper fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal fraction like 2/4 is less than a whole number because a whole number is whole and a fraction is part of

Exceptions:

4/4 is a fraction but is also a whole number

any improper fraction ( a fraction not simplified)

5/4 it equals more than a whole number 1 1/4

So simplify the fraction and if it is equal to or more than a whole number you know, but if it is less than a whole number then you know it is less.

Hopefully this helped :)

Mary used Delicious (d) and Golden Delicious (g) apples to make homemade applesauce. Delicious apples are $0.75 each and Golden

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Mary bought 9 Golden Delicious apples

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by setting up a system of equations. Based on the information given, the equations would be set up as follows.

$.75d+1.25g=21.00\\d+g=22$

I prefer to solve using substitution, but elimination can be used as well

$.75d+1.25g=21.00\\g=22-d$

We can now plug in this g value to the first equation

$.75d + 1.25 (22-d)=21.00\\.75d + 27.5-1.25d=21\\27.5-0.5d=21\\-.5d=-6.5\\d=13$

This means mary bought 13 delicious apples. She bought 22 apples in total, so the total number minus the amount of delicious apples will give us the amount of golden delicious apples.

22 - 13 = g

9 = g
