I'm going to do elimination to find the price of one pear and one orange.
6p +5o =1.87
12p + 2o=1.90
I'm going to multiply the first equation by -2.
-12p-10o = -3.74
12p + 2o =1.90
-8o= -1.84
-1.84÷ -8= .23= o
12p + 2 (.23) = 1.90
12p + .46 = 1.90
12p = 1.44
p=.12
A pear equals .12, while an orange equals .23.
3×.12= .36
.23× 3 = .69
.69 + .36 = 1.05
It would cost $1.05.

Simplify the following :
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1. 95/96

2. 27/7

3. -8/245

Explanation:

1. First add together the two fractions 3/4 + 5/6. Find the least common denominator. In this case we can use 12. The 3/4 changes to 9/12 and the 5/6 changes to 10/12. adding these together we get 19/12. Next we divide 8/5 by 19/12. We use the keep, change, flip method to change the divide to multiply. keep the first fraction, change divide into multiply, and then take the reciprocal of the second fraction. You will now do 5/8 x 19/12. We now get 95/96 (I made a mistake in the answers the first time because I was rushing)

2. Divide the 3/2 and the 8/9 first. I will use the KCF (keep, change, flip) method to divide. 3/2 x 9/8 = 27/16  Now we divide the 7/16. After using KCF we can simplify and cross cancel (simplfy after changing the fraction and signs) 27/16 x 16/7 --> 27/1 x 1/7   The answer will come out to be 27/7

3. since there are no parentheses divide first. Use KCF and after you get the answer multiply (it is the same using negative numbers just watch out for signs)

Ian is going to water his plants is it reasonable to say he will fill the watering can with 3 liters of water explain
Y_Kistochka [10]
This is possible for a smaller watering can. 3 liters is about 3/4 of a gallon (imagine a jug of milk).

It is equivalent to 3000 ml, which would also be 100 ounces of water.(5 -20 oz bottles of water).
