The answer is A. 42
Solution:
Let x= ones digit, y=tens digit
1st condition (original number) : 7(x+y)=10y + x
2nd condition (new number by reversing the digits): 18+x+y=10x+y
simplifying:
1st condition: 6x=3y
2nd condition: x=2
substituting x=2 to 6x=3y
<span>y=4</span>
The answer would be 2 1/3 or 2.3 repeating or 7/3
Divide 5 1/2, or 11/2 by 3/4. You can do that by multiplying 11/2 and 4/3 to get 44/6. Simplify and you get 22/3, which is about 7.33 or 7 1/3. If he can only paint whole dog houses, the answer is 7.
I think the answer is 3/8 pounds. You multiply the 3/4 pounds by 1/2 because the recipie has been cut in half. Hope this helps!
