Hi!

We will solve this using the system of equations, like this:

x + y = 27

2x + 4y = 78

___________

x = 27 - y

2 * (27 - y) + 4y = 78

54 - 2y + 4y = 78

2y = 24

y = 12

x = 27 - 12 = 15

There are 15 chickens and 12 puppies.

Hope this helps!

There are 120 planes. 2/3 are parked. 2/5 are jets and 1/8 are ready for take off. What fraction of the total are not jets
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

41/120

2/3 of 120 is 80, you have 40 left

2/5 of 40 is 16, you have 24 left

1/8 of 24 is 3.

Subtract those totals and you will get 41 leftover.

Is 3/5 of a mile closer distance than 1/2 mile
poizon [28]
What you want to know here is whether 3/5 is smaller than 1/2,

for this, you need to bring them to the same denominator. We do this by multiplying the whole fraction by the other number's denominator:

\frac{3}{5}= \frac{3*2}{5*2}= \frac{6}{10}

 \frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*5}{2*5}= \frac{5}{10}  

which means that the first number is bigger!

so 3/5 is bigger than 1/2, which means that it is not a closer, but a further distance!
