Answer:

C. 1/2

There are many ways to do this but I'll use substitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bottom equation yields x = 4 - 8y

plug that into the top equation results in:

4(4 - 8y) - y = 3y + 7

Simplify this to find y:

-36y = -9

y = 1/4

Plug that into the bottom equation we get:

x = 4 - 2 = 2

Thus, xy = 2(1/4) = 1/2 (C)

a box contains 1 3/4 pounds of pancake mix. Jada used 7/8 pound for a recipe. What fraction of the pancake mix in the box did sh

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Jada used 1/2 of the pancake mix in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$1\frac{3}{4}\ pounds$ -----> represent the 100% of the box

by proportion

Find what fraction represent $\frac{7}{8}\ pounds$

First convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{3}{4}\ pounds=\frac{1*3+4}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ pounds$

$\frac{100}{(7/4)}=\frac{x}{(7/8)}\\ \\x= 100*(7/8)/(7/4)\\ \\x=50\%$

Convert the percentage into fraction

$50\%=50/100=1/2$

please provider answer? A train travels 160160 km in the same time that a plane covers 720720 km. If the speed of the plane is 2

lys-0071 [83]

T=time
d=st
r=train speed
p=plane speed

160=rt
720=pt

speed of plan is 20kmph less than 5 times speed of train
p=5r-20

we notice that 160 times 4.5=720
times first equaton by 4.5

720=4.5rt
720=pt
set equal
4.5rt=pt
divide both sides by t
4.5r=p
sub p=5r-20 for p
4.5r=5r-20
minus 4.5r from both sides
0=0.5r-20
add 20 to both sides
20=0.5r
times 2 both sides
40=r

sub back
p=5r-20
p=5(40)-20
p=200-20
p=180

plane is 180kmph
train is 40kmph
