So then you Just divide...
$11.25 divided by $1.25
which gives you 9
So bill rented 9 movies for the month
Hope this helped! :)
To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15.
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.
Hope I helped!
-x + 5y = 8
multiply this equation by 3
-3x + 15y = 24
now add it to the other equation ( elimination)
-3x + 15y = 24
3x + 7y = -2
-----------------------
0x + 22 y = 22
divide each side by 22
y =1
substitute into -x + 5y =8 to find x
-x + 5(1) = 8
-x + 5 = 8
-x =3
divide by -1
x =-3
Answer (-3,1)
Choice A
