16/5. Just divide 48/15 by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
set notebooks as x, set pens as y
1. 5x + 7y = 11
2. 4x + 2y = 7
1. times by 2
10x + 14y = 22
2. times by 7
28x + 14y = 49
2. minus 1.
18x = 27
x = 1.5
sub 1.5 into 2.
4(1.5) +2y = 7
6+2y = 7
2y = 1
y = 0.5
Therefore, x = 1.5, y = 0.5
Lets take this problem as 25/8 - 15/8. This is both the fractions in improper form. Subtract 25 and 15 and divide the answer by 8 so 10 divided by 8 which is equal to 1 1/4
The answer is 35 pounds because,
56 / 8=7 so 5x 7 =35 pounds
The ratio is 4:7 because since the ratio is red apples to green apples theirs 4 red apples and theirs 7 green
