To use repeated subtraction, you could keep subtracting 3 until you reach 0.
So, we can do
93-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3=0
This has 31 -3s,
So 91/3 is 31.
Answer:
a : c = 7 : 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The two ratios (a : b and b : c) both have b in common, so to work out what a : c is, we can use b to 'bridge' the two ratios together.
However, in a : b, b is 4. But in b : c, b is 2. We need to make sure b is the same in both ratios before we can combine the ratios together. The easiest way to do this is to multiply b : c by 2 to get b : c = 4 : 10. Now b is 4 in both ratios.
So now, we can combine the two ratios together to get a : b : c = 7 : 4 : 10. Since we only want a : c though, we can just drop the b and get a : c = 7 : 10. No simplifying is necessary since the ratio is already in its simplest form.
Hope that helps! :)
Say x = 12 and y = 4
12 - 4 = 8
Number 1
2(12) - 4(4) = 8
24 - 16 = 8
Number 1 is your Answer
