No you cannot because you are dividing a number greater than one.

If the mixed number can be anything less than 1 then sure, but I don't think 0 can be the whole number part of a mixed number, or at least I've never seen it

Zoe payed $18.60 in sales tax and tips for her dinner. The sales tax is 11% and she tipped 20%. What was the price of Zoe's dinn

Mkey [24]

Answer:

56.02 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Wanted x, the price before taxes and tip.

sales tax: x * 0.11

tip on sales tax: x * 0.11 * 0.2

tip on price: x * 0.2

= 0.332x

= 18.6 (presumption)

Therefore,

x = 18.6/0.332 = 56.02

Adam and Tom share a sum of money in the ratio 18:17

Digiron [165]

x = total amount split between Adam and Tom.

since we know the total amount split between both in a 18 : 17 ratio is "x", let's divide "x" by (18 + 17) and distribute accordingly to get the amount of each.

$\stackrel{Adam~received}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that Adam got "5" more}}{ \stackrel{Adam}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}~~ = ~~\stackrel{Tom}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}~~ + ~~5} }\qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{18x}{35}~~ + ~~\cfrac{17x}{35}+5$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{35}}{35\left( \cfrac{18x}{35} \right)~~ = ~~35\left( \cfrac{17x}{35}+5 \right)}\implies 18x~~ = ~~17x+175\implies \boxed{x =175} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\implies \cfrac{17(175)}{35}\implies \blacktriangleright 85 \blacktriangleleft$

Marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board. Each piece of tape was 3/8 inch long. How much tape did Marge

mafiozo [28]

Hi! :)

It sounds like you need to multiply this fraction.

$\frac{3}{8}$ *16=6

So, Marge used 6 total inches of tape.

Hope this helps!
