In order to find the answer to this question, you need to multiply the fractions. But before we do that, we need to turn the mixed fraction into a proper fraction. 1 3/4 would turn into 7/4 because you multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator. So we come out with:

7/4 x 3/1 = 21/4

Can we simplify 21/4? No, we can't. However, we need to turn it back into a mixed fraction. We can do that by actually dividing the numbers. 21 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 1, so we come out with our answer.

The mom is 5 1/4 feet tall :) Hope this helps!

The sum of two integers is 33. The larger is 6 more than twice the smaller. Find the two
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

24 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x be equal to the larger integer.

Let y be equal to the smaller integer.

<u>1) Construct equations</u>

  1. x+y=33 (The sum of two integers is 33)
  2. x=6+2y (The larger is 6 more than twice the smaller)

<u>2) Solve for one of the integer</u>

Isolate x in the first equation

x+y=33\\x=33-y

Plug the first equation into the second

33-y=6+2y

Combine like terms

33-6=2y+y\\27=3y\\9=y

Therefore, the smaller integer is 9.

<u />

<u>3) Solve for the other integer</u>

x+y=33

Plug in y (9)

x+9=33\\x=33-9\\x=24

Therefore, the larger integer is 24.

I hope this helps!
