-- A "mixed number" is (a whole number) plus (a fraction).
-- Two mixed numbers = (two whole numbers) and (two fractions).
-- The smallest whole number is ' 1', so when you add up all of that,
the smallest possible sum is (2) plus (two fractions).
-- So the sum must always be greater than 2 .
============================================
<em>THAT'S IF BOTH MIXED NUMBERS ARE POSITIVE </em>.
<em>If one of them is negative</em>, then it's easy to do:
(3 and 1/2) + negative (1 and 1/2) = <u>2</u>
(25 and 7/10) + negative (23 and 7/10) = <u>2</u>
Answer:
0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
20/100 as a decimal is 0.2.
Well, we can find the direct answer by taking Billy and Kip's points and subtracting it from the total combined points. This will give us 11, which means Patrick earned 3 points.
The equation we can use to represent this is <em>5 + 6 + y = 14.
1. 5 + 6 + y = 14
2. 11 + y = 14
3. y = 14 - 11
4. y = 3
